Difficult to say: That may be an inaccurate reading. It should be repeated on 2-3 different occasions, making sure to use the appropriate sized cuff. Blood pressures can be incorrect when the cuff is not the right size for the patient. Have it checked the next few times you see your doctor to find out if there is anything actually abnormal.
