Hi bp: Yes, all readings are too high. The final reading is borderline high, but the fact that it came down is meaningful. For sure, think thru risk factors for hi bp --- excess body wt, stress, smoking, family history, other illnesses such as diabetes or kidney disease, meds, such as decongestants, NSAIDS, or "recreational" drugs.
