Yes: The normal way to write blood pressure is to put the big number first, so 176/108. First thing is to sit, wait for at least 5 minutes, and recheck the blood pressure. If top number is above 135 or bottom number above 90, this should be checked out. If you have headaches or other symptoms in association with elevated blood pressure, prompt medical evaluation is required.
