The 155 is slightly high. The 80 is fine. Some people have different norm for there blood pressure. mine is 110/70 so when either of these number elevate my body tells me by producing a head ache.
I would exercise for and stay away from stress. Call you doctor on Monday.
Good Luck

ideal blood pressure is 120/80 but anything up to 140/80 is acceptable. i would have this looked into-you might need to be put on medication to help lower it a bit

Not really HIGH, but you could bring it down some. You're right on the teeter-totter of high.
You need to pay special attention to your diastolic (bottom) number - you really need to try to keep it in the low 70's or lower, but not lower than 60 usually. If you could keep your systolic (top) number closer to the 130's, that would be best for you. I suggest a little bit of exercise and if you smoke - quit. Also, less fat in your diet. I would be willing to bet your cholesterol or triglycerides are also a little high.

Well, I would say that it isn't good. Your top number should be a bit lower, you might want to try a good diet and exercise.
