Height: 5'10" Weight: 126.4 Body Fat Percentage: 11% Blood Sugar (non fasting): 84 Cholesterol: 143 Blood Pressure: 130/84 WTF at my blood pressure!? I am technically in the "pre-hypertension" range. I'm in my mid-20s and I just can't believe that I have high blood pressure.

Usually if my pressure is a little high the first time, my doctor will talk to me for a few minutes and try it again. Sometimes if they take your pressure when you first sit down, it could be a little higher than normal.

I'm going to go to CVS or somewhere with a BP machine in a couple of days and get tested. I had to get a finger prick for the blood glucose test a few minutes prior to the BP test, and anything with needles really freaks me out. The tech thinks that may have affected my results.

Also, if the person doing the cuff puts it on too tight or if it's the wrong size cuff, that could affect it too. One tech used a too small cuff on me, and my pressure came up really high. My doctor redid it when she came in with the bigger cuff, and it came out much better. I think all your other numbers are good, so I'm sure your blood pressure was probably just a little bit of nerves.
