A doctor has provided 1 answer

Readings: First off, what is a little high in #s. Different people have different ideas as to what high is. Second , circumstances under which you had your blood pressure checked also matter. If you smoke by chance, checking your blood pressure right after smoking, will record a falsely elevated one. Exercise, changing positions right around the time of BP check may falsely elevate it. If in doubt, see doc.
