130/90 is the cutoff above which it is called high BP or hypertension.

Hello, welcome to HCM. Blood pressure is affected by many factors. It should be measured after sitting at rest for 15 minutes. Anxiety or stress both physical and mental can raise BP. Just 1 high reading doesnt signifiy much. You should regulalry monitor your blood pressure and in case you find it raised you should visit your doctor to get assessed. You can walk daily to keep it under check and reduce your salt intake. Wish you good health.
just did test on it with machine. it says 115/85, pulse 75. but still feel uncomfortable. will try to go to the doctor in 2 hrs. what should i ask for when i get there?
