Can call one's Dr.: His doctor might ask for a few more measurements (but to be seen right away if having symptoms). A patient needs several measurements, preferably when not ill. He can make a diary of measurements for several days, and take the numbers plus the home BP machine to show his doctor. Measurements can be after waking in the morning, once during the daytime, and a third measurement before bed.
