What Does Results Between 125-130 ,systolic 70-80 And Pulse Around 70 Indicate?

Hello there. I am a 22 year old male from England and I am currently visiting the USA until the end of September, I am a regular runner but have not been over the last 2 months due to injury. Now I arrived in the USA on the 20th of August and on the back of around a month and half of trauma at my family home in England. My brother of 28 recently had a seizure induced by alcohol withdrawel and exacerbated by the fact he is bulemic. This was a traumatic event, however it was proceeded by further trauma in his battle with alcohol, psychologically abusive attitude, in particular to my mother and other events which caused long term stress to the whole family. Since the 23rd of August I have experienced chest pains coming and going, though not severe pain, it has been a more uncomfortable feeling than severe pain. I have deduced that it is exacerbated by pain which eliminated my initial thought that it was strain in the muscle of the chest after an incident with my brother. My family has a history of high blood pressure on my father's side and I tend to keep track of my BP with my own monitor. I have had two med students measure my bp in the last two days and I have found conflicted readings with my own readings. They both yielded results of between 150 and 158 on the Systolic and between 80 and 100 diastolic. I have found that the results are between 125 and 130 over around 70-80, with a strong pulse of around 70. One of the main reasons I have not visited a GP is a lack of understanding of the procedures seeing a gp/ doctor in the US. Please advise me on the best course of action.

Hi
I have understood your query well.
Normal B.P is systolic 100 to 130 and diastolic 80 to 90 ( according to latest american heart association guidlines )any meausurments above it is hypertension . so according to your measurement your blood pressure is within normal limit. but it's high when checked by med student . I suggest that you keep a daily track of your B.P by measuring B.P twice a day ( morning and evening ) for two weeks . if the values are high visit General physician otherwise u don't need to worry.
I hope I have addressed your query well. if satisfied kindly close this query with good rating.
Thank you
wish you good health
