Hi,
The BP reading should always be correlated to the symptoms of the patient. If there are no symptoms, then it does not signify much. If there are symptoms, it has to be evaluated for the underlying cause. If persistent on a regular basis, should be once evaluated; otherwise isolated single reading of this range is normal.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
