Bp concerns
My bp read by a doctor was 126/70 and the bp read by my home machine was 120/70 , 123/71 , and sometimes even lower like 116/70 ,117/70. I heard bp should be less than 120/80. But sometimes it's higher than 120/80 and sometimes lower than 120/80 . The bp machine I use is a new one . Is there any problem with bp machine . The doctor I visit said 126/70 to be normal . But internet says otherwise. What to do . Do I have hypertension? I recently took massive stress for about 5 months . Will I develop hypertension?

You don’t have hypertension .
whether you will develop hypertension or not, later in life depends upon a host of factors.
There are normal fluctuations in blood pressure in a person during different times of the day. Also, there is difference in blood pressure with the type of apparatus used.
Even a difference of 10 mm of Hg is acceptable when measured in both arms.

Hi. All the BP values you mentioned are considered to be normal. High BP is when BP> 140/90 mmhg. So dont get panic. Just sit back and relax.

Bp levels may fluctuate...
there is a proper posture to take bp measurement.
you may see video on you tube by medicl.rofessionals on how to take bp correctly at home.
consumption of tea/coffee before bp reading can cause a raise.
also if you smoke or have been under stress or under gone physical activity may cause temporary rise in levels.
go for 2 readings 15-20 mins apart when taking your bp.
You may schedule an online appointment for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
Take Care.
