Hi,
How are your blood pressure readings? Are there symptoms present? I understand your concern regarding your blood pressure and it is important that regular BP monitoring is done. Persisting increased BP may warrant further evaluation and additional diagnostic tests such as blood tests and hypertensive work-up. If the reading is high ( like 160/100 and above), try to rest for half an hour and repeat the measurement. If the reading does not improve, you may need to have this checked by your attending physician. Take care and do keep us posted.
