blood pressure

hello, i go to publix every day and check my blood pressure on their vita star blood pressure machine.  my first reading is always high like 145/70.  but then i take my second and its 130/70.  somtimes i come in and its 127/70 or 130/56.  i though it was broken so i had some of my friends try it out and their first reading is always high. i dont have inssurance so i cant see a doc.  and i have absolutely no money to buy a blood pressure machine for my self. does anyone know whats wrong with me????????? btw im young and i obsess over working out and eating healthy, no bad foods for me

I'm betting you are just fine.  It is anyone's guess how accurate a public Blood Pressure machine is, and also, I'm betting you sit down and immediately test your pressure.  It is best if you are at rest for a few minutes prior to the test.  That said, your blood pressure results aren't very high.  I'd enjoy the surfing and quit worrying.
