Yep, it is really high, no need to panic, but you have to take action. I went for a work health check (aged about 47) and mine was about 160 over 105, they told me it was far too high and advised that I get a monitor (which I instantly did), I then took my blood pressure every hour (more to play with the monitor than any serious intent) and it went up and up and up, I felt absolutely fine (slight headache if I have to moan) but at 11pm it was about 220/150 and I drove myself to hospital, waited ages and still felt fine (if tired), the worst reading was higher still, and got to 250/170 which is ridiculous. They were shining lights in my eyes because they thought my organs must be failing (not sure why this is a thing, but you just go along with it, still felt fine). Was moved onto stroke unit for the night and given a lot of drugs to get blood pressure down. It did come down then I was prescribed quite a few blood pressure drugs (Amlodipine, Ramipril and another which I cannot remember, Bendroflumizaide ?) and monitored closely, absolutely loads of tests followed, taking over 2 years. Conclusion: "Unexplained blood pressure spikes" sometimes as low as 90/60, sometimes super-high. I am now on 4 sets of drugs, Doxasozin, Losartan, Bisporol and Indapamide. My grandparents all died by 60 from BP related things, so I never knew them (strokes, aneurisms), my mum and dad are in the 80s and are fine, with no real BP issues. I don't really know why you get what you get. But the sooner you are in the hands of medical people that know, then the better. Lifestyle plays a part (stress, weight, smoking, drinking, caffeine, but SALT absolutely batters up your BP) but it is not just about that. They say it is not family history, but I am not sure about that either. Sorry to not be very conclusive, but please be in good hands and get the drugs you need to keep it down. I suspect panicking makes things worse, so just try and calmly investigate. xx
