You're fine : Your systolic is in the prehypertension range, your diastolic is normal. Bottom line you're fine now, but watch your salt intake and weight to avoid further increase in BP as you get older.

It's still OK.: I presume it's your anxiety, stress & worrying that contribute to the BP elevation. Find ways to calm your nerves and relax your mind. Do slow deep breathing, engage in sports, don't focus much on your BP & divert your attention to recreational activities, try yoga or meditation, stay away from obnoxious people and join the company of optimistic ones! cheer up and watch a comedy show this weekend!
