Brief Answer:
Yes, 176/116 is very high.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome To 'Ask A Doctor' Service.
I understand your concern.

The blood pressure of 176/116 is definitely high.

But if this is just a single reading then ut definitely needs a rechecking and confirmation by a doctor.

You should visit your nearest doctor as soon as possible to confirm the blood pressure, based on the findings, you need to start antihypertensives.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hope your query got answered.
Thanks and regards
