don't be worried, but that's high. If it's a single reading on one day, it doesn't mean much. Particularly if you took it after work or BMX riding. If it continues to be high, they'll start you on something, increase the dose of what you're on...who knows? But if diet and exercise aren't cutting it, and you stay with that number, your doc is going to want to treat it.

It defnifely wont hurt to cut down your sodium. Dont change what you do and check your bp for the next 2 weeks. If it stays 135+ on the top number then cut your sodium down to 2 grams per day and see if that helps.
