Blood pressure fluctuates. Also if you are standing, sitting etc
makes a difference. If you are nervous it will read higher. When
you go to the Dr and your b/p is higher than usual they call it
the white coat syndrome, which means you are nervous about
going to the Dr. If your Doctor thought your pressure was too high he would have told you. Also you must question your Dr. to
have good visits with him, or her. Other wise they won't volunteer a lot of information if you don't ask.

Blood pressure changes constantly. Whether you're sitting or standing, running or walking, all sorts of things can have an effect on the BP.
You'll need to do two things:
1. Talk to your doctor about your concerns.
2. Get your own BP monitor and start recording your BP at regular intervals. This is invaluable info for your doctor, because he/she cannot be with you 24/7, and a log of your BP will be very helpful in the determination of hypertension.

Need to sit and relax at least 5 minutes before measuring and not full meal and the wrist must be same level with the heart. In another situation, if the pulse drops too low, then the BP adjusts higher, or reverse condition. Take average of many BP readings in few days to know the result.

Check 3 or 4 times with the interval of 1 weeks. If you still find it fluctuating you need a thorough medical examination.
Check
Catecholamines
Renal Function
ECG
Electrolyte levels
Lipid Profile
Thyroid Profile
Proteinuria
Creatinine Clearance
Total amount of Urine a day
Colour Doppler of the abdomen etc...
Whitecoat hypertension may also be a reason.

It depends on your emotional state when you take the reading. If you are more anxious during one reading, it will be different. Also, it depends on what device you are using to take the reading...some are not as accurate. Have your doctor take the reading the "old fashion" way if you are concerned. I hear these are more accurate

You were more relaxed and less stressed out the second try. It helps if you can be relaxed while having it taken.
