Initial readings come like this often. I suggest you get your morning BP reading.  That will help decide if you need treatment.
Next Steps
Please don't treat yourself based on home recording of BP. You should consult a General Physician on Practo for your treatment.

This is high. Check early morning readings. If they are high, you will need medicines. Met xl is not good.
