Hi,
I understand your concern.
The bottom value of your blood presure measuring is high, and indicates that you should repeat blood pressure measuring, because you are at risk of hypertension disease (first stage), considering the gender, the age and the obesity.
You shoud exercise more, eat more heathy diet (grains, fruits, vegetables and food rich in good fats), and avoid fried and fast foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
