hello.

blood pressure is not a constant value. it changes with activities we do.

exercise, smoking, caffeine, sexual intercourse can all raise BP physiologically while BP lowers when we are resting, sleeping, meditating, etc.

blood pressure may vary between two readings taken few minutes apart.

best time to check your BP would be in early morning after you wake up.

I find this answer helpful
