It is not way too high no

You need to do it again when you are calmer and not so worried about it

Hey K9...

Your BP is indicative of hypertension (aka stress). It's on the high side of normal but by no means is it too high. Stress does that I'm afraid. When you relax your BP will go down I assure you :)
