As working in a hospital, high. Above answer is good. Keep daily checks of the readings, keep a log book.

Bad.  Well, the second number is normal, but the first number (systolic) is quite high.  "Normal" blood pressure is 120/80.  Talk to your doctor.  If you took it yourself or had one of those automatic machines take it, get it retaken under proper conditions by a professional (arm at chest level while sitting after having rested for 5 minutes).
