is this 233/160 pulse 123?

Was your pulse rate so fast because you had been exercising?

The blood pressure readings that are recommended assume you have been resting for at least ten minutes, had you had a rest?

Did you try taking it again after 10 minutes? That is way too high and, insurance or no insurance, you need to consult with a doctor.
