A member asked:

I recently had a bp of 130 0ver 30 is that ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Incorrect: That's a spurious reading most likely. True causes are severe (really severe) aortic regurgitation and advanced atherosclerosis. Those are not sporadic so if this is an isolated or infrequent reading, your cuff or technique is/are the culprit (s).
