i think exercise would help you
when taking blood pressure in the clinic we usually try to ensure the following ........
sitting relaxed for at least 5 minutes
no recent caffiene intake
not feeling cold
not holding back on urine
arm supported at heart level while taking bp
all these things can cause bp to rise
