Should I Be Concerned For Having 165/108 Blood Pressure?

I am 41 years old, and I my blood pressure today was 165/108. Is this considered too high? I have had high readings every time I see my doctor for a routine visit, and had recently went to a walk-in clinic for an eye infection, and they had to take my blood pressure twice. It was around the same then.
