I want to measure bp while it's still high so i need a thing that can measure it quickly. do u have any suggestions on which or what type of machine?

Wrist cuff: There are a lot of BP measuring machines available over the counter at any local pharmacy. The ones which fit over your wrist are easy to operate, fast and pretty accurate. Make sure you check it at rest while relaxed or 5 mins.
