As per the American Heart Association, the normal range for systolic blood pressure is less than 120 mm Hg and the normal range of diastolic blood pressure is less than 80 mm Hg. But, if you are already on medications, consult your doctor to know the blood pressure level you need to target.

The new American heart Association guidelines have just come out. Hypertension is considered to be 130/80. Your blood pressure is too high and needs to come down there for your doctor needs to treat it. I am a nurse practitioner who specialized in Cardiology for over 20 years. There are many things that can happen to People who have high blood pressure over time. For your age some they consider it acceptable however if you have an in large heart/left ventricular hypertrophy, have a previous history of heart disease or other problems with your circulation, I highly suggest you get back to your doctor and get your blood pressure under control.

Compared to 80 year olds, You are good to go. I know 50 year olds way worse than you(even 30 year olds). Me, I don't go to Doctors, don't do drugs, Any. Beside smoking and some alcohol. Best you retake your tests when you are relaxed. Not worrying if your going to die. We all die, just a part of life.

It is normal for blood pressure to vary through the day. However that systolic (upper) reading is higher than ideal. It is important for people in our age group (I'm 70) to have BP looked after because our plumbing is not what it used to be. However the general wisdom seems to be that you also don't want very aggressive treatment which causes a large drop in BP.
By the sounds of it you might have a home BP meter, but if not, consider buying one. I found mine very informative, both for me and the doc.
Go see a doctor for advice and supervision and stick with that.
