Blood pressure reading

2021-10-11 09:36:09
My blood pressure reading comes as 150/71 in first reading . When I take second reading after 2 mins it becomes 140/75 and when I take third time after 2 mins it came as 129 /75. Is the first reading high due to machine anxiety ? When reading decreases in second and third time and which one should I consider. I am 30 year old.
