Wait
Recheck in early morning before out of bed
As blood pressure is correct early morning.
If more than 140/90 then will consider medication
Try yoga relaxing excercise for some days

Hello,
These blood pressure readings are high for your age. But for starting tablets I need your further details like BMI, Medical histoty, symptoms and serial BP readings.
Next Steps
Take BP daily for 3 consecutive days and report
