What Does Fatigue Along With High BP Indicate?

I have been having fatigue, mental slipping. I tested my blood pressure at a store and it said that it was high: 157 over something. I also drink alcohol and dont get enough sleep. I do take statin. Is this an acute situation? Do I have a serious condition? I usually have good blood pressure.
