Have averaged around 106/63 to 120/70 for the past few months on Lotrel & Atenolol taking my b/p at Eckerds (now CVS) & other drug stores. Today my B/P was a ridiculous 147/87 at Publix (a grocery store). The lady before me & the lady after also had high readings like 170/90. I felt a little anxiety when I took it, because the store was crowded, because there is a hurricane coming & the old lady who was going next was talking to me the entire time. My pulse was like 64. I just wonder if this reading was totally bogus. I wouldn't question it if everyone wasn't getting really higher than normal readings in the store. Really thinking about not taking my b/p for a long time. It's been consistent for the past 18 months. What is everyone's opinion. Been taking it for 18 months & it has been consistent like I said.
