HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, no need to worry about this because if you are going to read the blood pressure on your own then this may cause some error and may show elevated, at the most you can ruled out this and for that better to get done the reading it by physician or gynecologist, but this is not that much necessary, and stop worrying about it, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
