Blood Pressure monitors

Im 32 male:
How accurate are the devices and can it be used after exercise to determine how much my blood pressure increase....the reason is because yesterday I went for a walk after eating when I return I check my blood pressure and it show 164/140 with 58 BPM.  it scare me, that I could not sleep!!!  

normal blood pressure: 118/67 (last doctors visit 2 weeks ago), just had a ECHO test and heart is in perfect condition.

Been anxius...wedding coming up.
Please Advice

It depends on the device. That is a "how many angels are on the head of a pin" question.

With a blood pressure of 164/140 and a pulse of 58 for a 32 year old male I suspect the machine is in error.
