Woke up, sat on bed, feet on floor and immediately got bp of 130/95. 30 min later, layed down its 104/73. how do i know which is accurate reading?

Both?: Both readings are accurate. It is recommended to check blood pressure in sitting position after a couple minutes of rest. Blood pressure is dynamic and changes constantly depending on your body and mind.
