billwagnon,
Buy a inexpensive BP monitor to confirm that it is high - plus it is good to have the ability to check one's BP at home. If it is (which I expect is true since even the in-store BP monitors must be verified and calibrated for accuracy), see your doctor immediately. Once you get on the medication, you will be surprised at how much better you will generally feel - it is an amazing difference! My BP was similar to yours and, yes, it is considered high. I am on Benazepril which has made a huge difference in my well-being. I am 44 years of age, a non-smoker, eat a very well-balanced diet, and a runner - the healthy lifestyle did not prevent my elevated BP.
