Single high BP value is not enough to start medication. Kindly check your bp daily by a professional and restrict salt in your diet. Include regular exercise and avoid alcohol.

A single BP reading is not enough for the diagnosis, however your BP levels are way too as compared to your age , stage 2 hypertension , so it's better to check you BP on a regular basis for a week and start on lifestyle modification
Next Steps
even if after a week the BP is still high you might need medication, consult me on practo for further management

A single bp reading doesn't confirm hypertension.You may have to record the BP twice daily for a few days.If it remains constantly above 130/80 consider lifestyle and diet habit changes for 2-3 months before starting the medicine

Hello,
1. This BP reading usually requires medication.
2. Since you are not a known hypertensive, we can’t label it as hypertension before we have 3 different raised BP readings.
3. Ideally, a consultation with a physician is recommended, to plan further course of action.

Regularly check your blood pressure.
The advise is slightly different if you are have diabetes as to what is the target blood pressure.
If the blood pressure stays high, Life style changes + Medication/s + Monitoring
All the best.
