Is Blood Pressure Of 142/96 Normal While Having COPD?

I'll be 62 next month and I did a home blood pressure check and it said my BP is 142 over 96, pulse 85 the first time, the second time it was 142 over 91 pulse 81, the third time it was 127 over 96 pulse pulse 73, the fourth time it was 134 over 98 with pulse 81. I have COPD and I can't blow any higher than 140 on my peak flow meter. I s this something I need checked out, or is it just a part of COPD?
