Suggest Ways To Control Hypertension

Yesterday I had a high blood pressure reading of 100/120. This is the first time I have had high blood pressure. I am 45 yrs old. I m having some discomfort - like tightness around my shoulders collar bone area, do you think this is anything to worry about. Other tests done yesterday were diabetes, not positive, cholesterol overall was 4.6. Thanks
