HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, let me tell you something you can not measure your own blood pressure even if are a doctor, because this procedure makes you little conscious and this wont give accurate result moreover the sphygmomanometer is also matter if you are using electronic device then this is not authentic, the accurate reading is only possible with Hg instrument, in my opinion you should go to see the doctor, and stop worrying about this, have a nice day.
