My bp is 220/116 should i be worried?

That's very high.: The number of concern is the mean arterial pressure. Yours is (220+116+116)/3=151, which puts you at increased short term risk for stroke. This is a very dangerous reading and would need to be addressed and lowered immediately under a doctor's personal supervision, preferably in the ED.
