one time occurrence is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

A one time occurrence of the blood pressure recording of 133/86 is normal. You need not worry about it.

If repeated readings on alternate days or every other day shows the same reading, then you need to be concerned.

Hope this is clear to you. Wish you good health.
