If you check your BP after some physical activity like climbing stairs, heavy work then values  will be on higher side.. BP should always be checked in resting condition ,in a comfortable position, sitting or lying down position.

If its regularly on a higher side consult a nearby physician. If not, dont check it too often. The readings will always fluctuate.
