Anything 180/120 or above needs immediate medical attention.

Normal blood pressure for most adults is defined as a systolic pressure of less than 120 and a diastolic pressure of less than 80 . Elevated blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure between 120 and 129 with a diastolic pressure of less than 80.

It’s high but not extremely high.

Keep an eye on it and if it continues to be high, consider meds.
