A "one off" reading is quite meaningless unless it's excessively high on repeated readings.
Ask you're practice nurse to rigg you up to a 24 hour bp monitor.
There will be "spikes," in my case it was at the time of coitus and when I logged into PPrune and sparred with Mac The Knife. One, was a lot more fun than the other.
There is an algorithm somewhere (?National Institute of Clinical Evidence.)
AME's (or whatever they are called now), are sometimes a little "slow" on the uptake, so, I'd suggest you take a copy of your 24 hr reading, and the evidence :-)
