Blood pressure in the mid 130's to mid 140's over 75 to 85 at home, but at doctor office always 170/90 - 100, which is correct?

All : All the pressures represent your numbers. The variables may include size of blood pressure cuff--too small a cuff raises numbers and too large lowers numbers. Position affects pressure as does stress. Check with your doctor for their ideas and treatment. Good luck!
