You can consider 2nd or 3rd reading. Like you pointed out, first reading is affected by your momentary excitement, and it doesn't reflect your cardiac status That said, in your condition (anxiety), it's better not to check your BP regularly at home. It will only worsen the anxiety symptoms. Instead, it's better to get it checked at the clinic, during your regular check ups with your doctor. Hope my explanation helps you.. Good luck
