What Should Be Done In Case Of High BP?

I had a BP reading of 186/130 at a machine in the grocery store. The pharmacey guy asked if i was light-headed or in pain. I said no and that I road my bike to the store, and rode 25 miles the day before. He said that the machine can be inaccurate. But since I have no doctor or insurance, what should I do next?
