The top number is fine could be lower, but the bottom one is a high. I had BP of 140/98 on avrage (I had a fever for a week when I took the readings, might have contributed to the high lower number). Its been a month and iv cut down on sodium, started drinking almost a gallon of water, and 30 minutes of aerobic exercise; now my BP ranges around (111-132)/(65-75) over the day. I am 22 year old male and I was prescribed mediacation but figured I was too young for it, so instead I have made lifestyle changes and it works.

Is blood pressure of 135 over 100 in a 29 year old high?

No, it is high. The 135 isn't too bad but the 100 is definitely high. An ideal blood pressure would be 120/80 but 130/90 it the upper limit of normal. You need to consider the conditions under which your blood pressure was taken. Under extremes of stress, eating certain foods and other conditions everyone's blood pressure goes up. Also, there are proper body positions combined with the blood pressure meter position to get accurate readings. If the readings you gave are consistent when measured repeatedly for a few days and at different times of the day I would discuss it with your doctor. See link below for ranges of blood pressure
