Top high, bottom OK.: Rule #1: make sure the cuff size is correct. If you have a really big arm & the cuff is small, it will falsely elevate the numbers. Rule #2: Check for a series of 3 days or so. High BP can be genetic ie "essential," or due to obesity, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, adrenals, other meds - lots of possibilities. Needs work-up. Call doc if you get blurry vision, bad headache, chest pain, breathlessness.
