How To Treat A Elevating BP Level?

I'm 45, 5'11'' 230# and have been checking my blood pressure twice a day for the last 4 weeks using a digital sphygmomonameter I bought at CVS. My diastolic s consitently over 90, usually 100 to 102. My systolic is ranging from 124 to 155. Tonight my BP was 155/101. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow. Does this sound serious? Is it likely I will be put on medication?

Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM.

it's not very serious but of utmost importance. Hope you got my point. BP in the range of 155/100 medication along with dietary modification would be an appropriate choice.
