All I can tell you is that it is considered high. That goes for anything 140/90 and up.

A pressure this high merits a visit to your doc, this is technically hypertension type I but is dangerously close to hypertension type II (160/100).

It means you should probably recheck it. If it is correct you are probably looking at some serious cardiac pathology. More than likely this is a sign of severe arteriosclerosis. See a doc and check your cholesterol.
