Registered Nurse here, first of all I would change the batteries. One usually sees lowering blood pressure from one of these devices as the battery runs low. The low battery indicator on this blood pressure machines, frequently malfunctions. If you feel okay, and not feeling worse as you take your blood pressure, I would speculate it's the B/P machine. Now if your feeling worse with each checking, then I strongly suggest you not wait to see your physician. But go directly to the nearest Emergency Room. Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.

You should relax for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure. Not a good idea to take it right after running around or having had 2 or 3 cups of coffee. Blood pressure changes with activity or stress or relaxation.
You have a rather low heart rate. Are you an athlete or a senior citizen?

The moniter is whacked !! My blood pressure is in the clowds, and I know for a fact - your first reading is borderline level 1 hypertension, the third is essentially perfect. Even if you just ran a marathon, the range is too broad in such a short span of time to be reliable.

you should be resting for about 15 minutes before checking your blood pressure to get a better reading the change in readings is probably because you were walking or had some kind of activity before the reading
