Not necessarily: Blood Pressure fluctuates during the day. Stress and tension can elevate BP. Some battery powered BP machines are more accurate than others depending on the brand. If you are using such a machine you need to bring it to your next visit and have Dr check its accuracy. Wrist BP machines tend to be inaccurate. The medications you are taking for your low BP condition can also cause high BP.
