Brief Answer:
Blood pressure seems high

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the 'Ask A Doctor' service.

Even though a single reading of blood pressure is not adequate to conclude, your BP is quite high and needs medical attention. The pulse is on the higher side but is ok. Anxiety could also be a factor that you need to check (if it's there).

Please restrict salt intake and seek medical assistance without delay.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
