Suggest Solution To High Bp

Hi! I am a 49 year old female. I have always had "normal" blood pressure readings. On Friday had went to my GYN for my annual pap, and my blood pressure reading was "high". They took 3 readings: 146/96, 142/96, 148/92. I checked it again that night and it was 144/97. Saturday it was 140/103. I did not check it Sunday. Today it is 152/105. Should I be concerned? My GYN said if it continued to be "high" to call my Internist.
