Hi Brandon, me again. If your BP goes down to normal ranges when you're quiet, you're really still in reasonably good shape, as far as the BP goes.
Now, because of your weight, just walking around may be raising your BP faster and higher than it would for average folks. If I walked across Walmart carrying two 5-gallon water bottles I still wouldn't weigh what you do, but I'm sure my BP would register high for ten or fifteen minutes!
I doubt there's anything additional in the way of drugs that would make that any better - when your body does a lot of work it NEEDS that extra blood pressure to keep everything moving.

... and even your high numbers aren't crazy high, if you were getting 180/120 or something, even when active, that might start to be worrisome. I mean you can get that if you start doing weight training (!) and you're holding 200 pounds over your head, but probably shouldn't get that just walking around.
