Your blood pressure is around Hypertension stage 2. The nominal blood pressure is 120 / 80.

Well if your loyal to your exercise routine, as you say your in great health, then infact your bp should be lower than normal. So it goes to say that you might have a bp problem. Two things cause bp and thats either high blood volume or low vascular space. If its the later, then thing of all the things that can make your vessels constrict like chemical unhealthy habits that you likely don't have or certain people who stress you out. If its the former, then we might be talking about a white cell or red cell cancer. In that way, where talking about a traffic jam in your vascular system. A CBC (complete blood cell count) is relatively easy to do to confirm this. These aren't the only 2 root causes but the reasons are always the same in that were talking about the mechanical conjestion of the blood vessals either in volume or space.

See a doctor as always, its worth the consultation.

Your body mass index is 25.4 and you are overweight. (Normal weight 89 Kg)
* You should focus your attention not to increase your current weight.
* You should do more physical activity and exercise.
* Reduce salt in your diet.
You have got stage 2 hypertension and isolated systolic hypertension. If systolic blood pressure is elevated (>140) with a normal diastolic blood pressure (<90), it is called "isolated systolic hypertension"
Your pulse pressure is 180 -- 90 = 90 mmHg. Optimum pulse pressure is 40 mmHg. A high pulse pressure may be a strong predictor of heart problems, especially for older adults.
Check the function of your kidney (for microalbuminuria, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) and heart (ECG and Echocardiography for left ventricular enlargement/ hypertrophy)
Adopt DASH diet (Mediterranean diet). Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet, which includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish, vegetables, poultry, and egg whites. Use monounsaturated oils such as olive, peanut, and canola oils or polyunsaturated oils such as corn, safflower, soy, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils. Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.
Consult a cardiologist.

120/80 is normal, so it may be something that you just cannot control and will have to take medication or you can try to control it naturally with diet and other things. Here is an article that may interest you. http://lowerbloodpressurewithoutmedicati…
