The readings may not be accurate. It is concerning though and a Cardiology consult is recommended. A 24 hour home monitor may include a Holter test.

Dr Kuitems and another doctor agreed

My first guess is your BP device is not accurate. At 34/26 you would be fainted away. And maybe even having a seizure.
