Can't assume that.: Children, teens & young adults with high blood pressure readings usually have 3 separate readings by their doctor & by their doctor's clinical staff, depending on method. Your doctor will listen to your heart to determine if your heartbeats are erratic as well as rapid, then refer you to a cardiologist, if needed. List all prescription, OTC, herbal & recreational drugs that you take.

BP=a behavior, the: top value estimated from only a single heart beat; the bottom estimated from the lowest value between 2 different heart beats. Like any behavior, the values can change quite rapidly. Fear, frustration & pain are most common factors leading many to ↑ their BP &/or heart rate; both reflecting split-second adjustments from mind/brain which controls heart output, rate & peripheral arterial resistance.
