Blood pressure reading high

2022-09-30 12:16:41
Yesterday suddenly afternoon i felt like a disoriented head and sweating. I have blood pressure related anxiety so i instantly thought my bp was high. I measured it in a manually bp machine by myself if came out 150/90 then i measured again it was 130/70. Then my mother came and checked she found 125/72. I measure bp a lot and always it comes out 120/70 range. So why was it high yesterday. Today i measured in afternoon and morning in digital monitor it was 118/68. So can the high bp yeaterday be considered hypertension. The pulse was high too. Then it became normal.

Anxiety/stress can cause transient elevation of HR & BP . Single abnormal value does not mean Hypertension

From the measurements you posted you don't have HTN.
