Yes but first check that you are following AHA guidelines when you take it and your machine is accurate on you. Take to Dr to validate. Always sit in chair 5 min Use highest BP arm Use correct cuff size Put cuff on correctly Place arm so cuff is at heart level Take 3 readings and average. Take in am before any meds. Show to Dr Move to DASH eating plan to lower your BP unless average is < 120
