Blood pressure
Hello Doctor, I want to know why my BP goes up in hospital, recently I went for blood donation and my BP was there 150/90 so doctor told me that u can't donate blood as ur BP is high but eventually doctor allow me to donate blood and when I reach home my bp was is 125/77. I found that after closely monitoring my BP in home, office and hospital my BP was 125/86, 123/84 in home. In office - 130/80 and 140/80 and while entering hospital it goes up 150/90. Should I worry my BP? What's my next step? Please advice.

Ambulatory bp monitoring is a test which monitors your bp for 24 hours in a small machine attached to you.
That will help in making a decision.
In my opinion your bp is in normal range . Hospital visits are known to increase blood pressure readings
