Brief Answer:
153/98 blood pressure indicates hypertension.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
What kind of home device do you use? Is it wrist or arm based measurement? Do you check the blood pressure on both arms? What is the gap between this two measurements? Do check your blood pressure right after any physical activity? What is your heart rate?
Blood pressure can vary between left and right arm. Also physical activity, stress have great impact on the blood pressure. The method of blood pressure checking (arm or wrist) is also very important.
Blood pressure 152/98 is too high and if you have such high blood pressure at least twice, we can say that you have hypertension.
Hypertension needs diagnostics (heart checkup, kidneys function check, glucose level check, ions levels check, cholesterol levels check) and proper treatment. I suggest you to consult your regular doctor.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
