Brief Answer:
Please start hypertension treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

You should not be concerned. But you should start hypertension treatment and have basic diagnostic. Your blood pressure is not extremely high, but for sure it should be lowered. Same with the heart rate.
If its possible, please visit your doctor today. You should get hypertension medicines as soon as possible. Blood work, urine analysis, heart ultrasound should be done to rule out possible reasons.

Hope this will help. Feel free to as further questions.
Regards.
