Yes, get to the doctor NOW. Or ring NHS Direct 0845 4647.

 A blood pressure level of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high. About two-thirds of people over age 65 have high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, then you have prehypertension. This means that you don't have high blood pressure now but are likely to develop it in the future. You can take steps to prevent high blood pressure by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Roughly speaking your blood pressure should be about 100 plus your age. Yours seems a bit high, as mine was, you need to get treated.

Who measured your BP?  If it was a doctor you shouldn`t need to ask this question. You should already be on medication.

If the readings are accurate you need help now!
