Respected madam
Thanks for your query.
Your systolic BP (130) is normal but diastolic (100) is higher than expected. If you have no symptoms, it is not alarming. Still you must monitor your BP frequently (everyday) and see if the same readings persist. If you develop any symptoms/ trouble or your systolic (upper reading) BP jumps above 140 mmHg, do see your gynecologist.
