That is high for most people. Has your friend been to a doctor? Perhaps he/she should go and get a physical.

High blood pressure (HBP), blood pressure readings (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html)

Please encourage your friend to get to a doctor, see what lifestyle changes need to be made, and lower the readings.
