Hi Brandi,
I agree with many of the comments posted here, why not ask your doc for a twentyfour hour monitoring if you and he/she are concerned although BP does fluctuate according to what you are doing as well as being influenced by you having any predispositon to hypertensive disorders. (eg family members ) regular exercise should improve your BP overall but if taken immediately after or within a short while of exercise of course your BP will be elevated (unless you are atop athlete)
the twentyfour hour machine is put on and you go about your daily/nightly activities maybe they ask you to record time if you do something unusual![]()
the machine does BP every so often.
It is supposed to be a better way of looking at your overall BP as opposed to a single reading.
hope this is useful
Scarlet
