and a little interesting factoid I found out about during a recent stress test....your blood pressure (at least mine) takes off during excercise. I was pushing a little over 200 on the top end towards the end of the test. It may remain slightly elavated after stopping excercise so taking the BP right after may lead to false indications too. I am on bp meds and I was actually able to at least cut mine in half after losing some weight and getting excercise. BP tends to go up with age which may be why once you go on the meds, you can't ever get off....... I am not a real doctor either....

You should get it checked by your doctor. I don't always trust the machines at the pharmacist, but it could be close to accurate. * Normal: Less than 120/80 * Prehypertension: 120-139/80-89 * Stage 1 hypertension: 140-159/90-99 * Stage 2 hypertension: 160 and above/100 and above
