Not exactly....: BP fluctuates......depending on posture- sitting /standing/sleeping, time of day, emotion,side- left / right. The cuff size and tightness also matters. Look at the BP in morning after waking up, consider the trend rather an individual number. When in doubt, check the BP of a normal control...your own.
