But sometimes it's higher than 120/80 and sometimes lower than 120/80 . The bp machine I use is a new one . Is there any problem with bp machine . The doctor I visit said 126/70 to be normal . But internet says otherwise. What to do . Do I have hypertension? I recently took massive stress for about 5 months . Will I develop hypertension?
