This is called the alerting response as squeezing your arm is sensed as something that may need you to flee or fight. So BP goes up just in case. Then body changes it mind and adapts. I recommend you take BP every min till it stops going down the take 3 more readings and average those. Take same time of day and use exactly the right sized cuff, positioning etc. Can also have Dr do 24 hr BP.
