Brief Answer:
Visit your doctor if your BP is persistently high.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I understand from your description that your high BP(Systolic) is 160mmhg. It depends on the time you have measured. Usually after any work or stress the BP shoots up. I would advise you take rest for atleast half an hour and recheck your BP. If BP value persists to be high, I will insist you see a doctor to evaluate and decide about antihypertensive measures.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.
