Carole, Grace is right, you can not judge your pressure from one reading, however being as high as it was is not good. You need your own monitor for sure and you also need to schedule an appointment with your Doctor. Unresolved high blood pressure can lead to heart problems and can do damage to other organs.

I have the opposite problem most of the time. I have baroreceptor reflex failure so my pressure goes both very high and then very low.

Here is a link for a monitor website. It has been my experience that medical supplys are cheaper in Australia. I buy all of my Pet meds from Australia and have them shipped to US cheaper than I can buy in US, Faster Too.
