Blood pressure

Good day,
I'm a 23year old female and my BMI is below 25. Yesterday i tested my blood pressure and it was 154/98... What could be the cause of the problem, and is it normal? What should i do?

Also make sure you check the cuff size. I have a bigger arm and i was using the machines at the stores and getting false readings.

no thats a little high you need to start taking it twice a day and see where its at keep a record of it to take to your dr. you do need to see your dr about it.  

were you in any pain, or under lots stress.

it should be around 120/80 thats what they want it to be.
