Suggest Methods Of Controlling High BP

Hi, Yesterday I got my BP tested and it came out to 150/105. I am little concerned now. I have been having a light headache for a week now and a heavy bruised like feeling on top of my scalp. Since I saw this BP reading I have started to exercise right away but I guess it would take a while to bring it down. Can you pls help me with should I directly go and see the doctor right away or continue the exercises and test again in 2-3 days again?
