Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Blood pressure of that level is always of concern and should prompt further evaluation by your physician. The reading could be false because of faulty equipment, anxiety at the time of measurement. In these cases, it will be reassuring to know that your blood pressure may not be truly elevated. If the reading is confirmed on several occasions, it should be taken seriously and treated.

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound like: a DVT. Hallmark of DVT is leg swelling and pain, occurring after leg injury or sitting stationary for a long time (like at a casino or on a plane). HR can vary a lot, with stress level, medication timing,  &amp; illness of any sort. BP also goes up and down a lot. For example it would be normal for BP to go from 100/70 to 160/90 with exercise.

: Blood pressure will change moment to moment depending on your activity levels, hydration state, level of stress, time of day, state of arousal, and general health.
