Hello and welcome,
I think you may be overly concerned.A blood pressure such as you mentioned is not hypertensive.
The lightheadness can be dealt with by adequate water intake and getting up slowly from a seated position.
If I were your cllinician I would think your concerns can wait until the office is open unless new symptoms occurs such as rapid heart beat or shortness of breath
I hope this helps
