: I went to a local grocery store at the pharmacy where the BP meters are located. I took three readings, all were very close and w/n normal ranges......however, when I went to a local blood bank to donate my pint, I was surprised when they refuse me because my Diastolic was at 100. All three store readings were in the low 80 range. Nothing was different other than a 5 minute drive to donate.
