I have this machine at home. Everytime i
do it I get a reading of 125/80.
At the doctor Im always 140-150/90. I dont
get it. I even went in the pharmacy today
and did it on their machine, which i
actually get nervous at...and it was
145/90. I thought maybe my machine is
defective. I bot another one. Top of the
line super tested and whatnot..
I bring it home, measure my BP and it
gives me 120/80.
What am I supposed to think? Just trust my
machine since they both cant be wrong?
What should I do?

Having a high reading only when your blood
pressure is measured away from your normal
home environment, usually, doctors office,
is know like having a white coat
hypertension.
Have you been suggested 24-hour
monitoring?
