Hello there...I can understand your concern. 160 by 100 mm hg is high blood pressure. But just one reading cannot help in diagnosing hypertension. As sometimes stress and physical activity also can cause temporary high blood pressure. So kindly consult a general physician for regular evaluation. If you indeed have hypertension, depending on the degree, various methods like salt free diet, excersise, antihypertensive medications can be given.
