Is A BP Reading Of 136/102 A Cause For Concern?

Hallo Doctor. I am a 52 year old female - non smoker. Recently I have been feeling unwell with constant headaches so I decided to have my bp checked (which in the past has always been low). The reading was 136/102. I believe this is a little high. Is it anything for me to be concerned about? Can it be rectified with diet and exercise. Please advise. Thank you. Regards. Belinda
