Anxiety: Are you under the care of a physician? Do you actually have high blood pressure or are you checking it because you have anxiety about your health? Are you saying that your pulse is 144? It sounds like you need medication or at least a really good strategy for managing your anxiety. If your doctor hasn't told you to check your blood pressure, I think it your case it would be better not to.
