The 1st time i when for NKF check up. The person who check mmy blood

pressure sae its high. ask me to recheck. os after a few weeks i when to

polyclinics to recheck my blood pressure. the doctor sae its normal 130/80

she sae 130 for the reading is because im too anxious and my heart beat

quite fast, normal should be 120. and she saes dat pple with high blood

pressure the bottom number should be more than 80. so she sae that im

normal. Today i when to see doctor because of flu and cough. The doc sae

that my blood pressure is high. 140/80 ask me go recheck again...now who

should i listen to??? everybody know High blood pressure is a silent killer and

they doc dont treat it seriously....

Blood pressure can varies quite alot within an individual from time to time... Can also be due to equipment... How old are you by the way?

From the couple of readings you've taken, your pressure should be on the high side... But not really enough to be conclusive of high blood pressure....

Maybe it's still okay as you're still pretty young... If you're really concerned... Go see a doctor and tell him / her that you suspect that you might have high blood pressure and ask to be given an appropriate check up...

i decided to buy a device to check at home better. maybe go the the doctor make me feel nervous.

Would advise you NOT to... It might not be accurrate, and what kinda diagnosis you wanna give to yourself? Inevitably, you'll still need to refer to doctors... You're just doing extra work...

You should be quite okay for now...? If you want, get proper diagnosis from a doctor... Only buy a device when your doctor advise you to...
