See below: I would take my BP machine with you to your doctor, and check your reading against using more traditional method at the office- if it the same that should reassure you - need to take BP sitting for five with your arm at heart level -If your at home readings are accurate they are high for your age - you may need lifestyle changes, and perhaps medications-talk with your doctor-good luck
