canuck, have you gotten an electronic blood pressure device to measure it at home? Mine is always very high at the doctor's, and they told me I was hypertensive, but I started measuring it at home where it is perfectly normal... so now the doctor is not worried at all.

- Could be you're taking it at home as opposed to a doctor's office as well.********

- I had a cuff at home but it never was consistent. You should calibrate at drs office for baseline********
