Question

Blood pressure

I am a novice when it comes to info on high blood pressure. About a year ago, my gp doctor said I had high blood pressure and put me on meds, although my gyn doctor says my pressure is not high.

Three days ago I stopped taking the meds and have been monitoring my bp very closely (please no comments to see my doctor).

Today, my bp has varied more than the past days I have checked. When is the correct time to take an accurate bp read? Should I just take an average or is that too inaccurate?

Today :
**9:30 am (pre-food, post commute) BP 162/115 YIKES!
**11:00 am (post food, pre-lunch) BP 146/93
**1:30 pm (post lunch) BP 129/98

Thank you for your help,
Julie

P.S. My usual pressure is around 140/90.
