I had my annual doctor appointment for my bp. At home my readings have been like 130/80, which is great.
Today it was 140/90 at the docotrs. I am on Verapamil 240mg once a day. Why did it go up like that.
She did use a small cuff, and I am not a small women. I have been going to the GYM, eating much better
then I used to and lost 25lbs in a couple of months, so shouldn't this be going down. Could it be because
of the doctors office, or the small cuff. Is 140/90 serious.

Thanks Tammy
