With only one reading you can never decide about treatment . .BP might have increased due to many reasons..
If your sleep is not proper at night. If you are in stress or tensions, or if you are not taking enough fluids.. or it can be also be because you have a family history of high BP..
So just relax and monitor your bp for three days after considering the above points I mentioned.. still all the three days reading is on the higher side then consult online..
