High blood pressure?: The upper number (systolic bp) is high, the lower (diastolic bp) is normal. This can be due to a number of reasons including anxiety or stress, but most often is due to improper technique used to obtain the blood pressure. Make sure you have your BP checked by a physician or physician extender (e.g. Nurse practitioner or pa) with the proper sized cuff and technique (i.e. Not an electonic device).
