the 166, though concerning, isnt as bad as the 98. the top number is the pressure in the blood vessels as the heart contract, the bottom number is as its relaxing.

if possible, try keeping track of your pressure through the day for a couple of days. see if its spiking at particular times (like at work) or if its always high. then you can show it to your doctor to see what they want would like you to do about it.
