I went to an eye doctor to check my pressure.i moved up quite a bit during the exam .the doctor said stay still or the results can be wrong. is this true.my results were high even though 6weeks ago they were good?

I'm surprised that you were unable to sit still for the examination. Was it performed by an ophthalmologist? Did you feel discomfort? Properly done, you should feel no discomfort when getting your eye pressure measured. If the exam was uncomfortable, get it repeated by another ophthalmologist.
