Troubleshooting
The AHA recommends the following:

It's Important to Know Your Numbers
Your blood pressure can vary throughout the day by as much as 30 to 50mmHg. Things like stress, exercise, and even when you eat, drink or smoke can impact your numbers.
That's why it's important to consistently take your blood pressure at the same time every day so you know what's normal for you. Speak to your doctor about what your target range should be and what to do if your readings are outside of that range.
