Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As long as the blood pressure is concerned it is better to get read the pressure with physician because error is a matter of concern, once you are on anti-hypertensive then you need not worry.
If you go on reading the blood pressure on your own then it may show you little upper side value. It is due to over consciousness and you can inform about this to your health care provider.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
