hello. im worried about blood pressure. my family i believe has normal blood pressure, besides my dad, who only has high bp because he drinks way too much beer. anyway, im 14, 5'6.5'', and 120 lbs, which is skinny. at the doc, when i got my physical, my pulse was 90, and my bp was 95/70. i was told this was good. i must note that they took the bp in my right arm. anyway, in health class, we used a finger monitor, and i was like 145/102. so bullshit that was. so, my dad got a 100doll. omron monitor. i take it almost daily while im at his house and at diff. times. it's weird though- ill take it, and it will be bad, then ill take it again immediately after, and it will be good. and, my bp doesnt' seem to be higher when i first wake up in the morning. could there be a diff. in right and left arm bp? this seems too odd. also, i was very anxious at the docs,as it was my first ever physical. thanks.
