Blood Pressure Results - Cause for concern?

I was at the pharmacy and they have those free blood pressure machines. I tried it out and got a reading of 142 over 65 with a pulse of 64. According to the moniter, 142 is high. Should this be a cuase for concern? I know these machines aren't always precise, but I have used them before not on gear and I was always normal. Do you think I should go to a doc and get it checked?
 
Mine always goes up when I'm on. I'm going to try L-dex next time and see if that keeps it down some. Don't know if you should see a doc, that's a little out of my leaugue. I guess if you're really worried you should go with your instincts.
 
I'm on 150mg of fina and 250mg of Prop EOD for about 6 weeks now. I've done Sus and Dbol before and had my BP checked and there was no prolems and I am alost positve that dbol makes you BP go high.
 
The top number is just slightly high. As you stated the machines are not that acurate. Normal test are from a seated position after waiting 5 min.
 
64 BPM?? holy fuck thats about as good as mine--be proud of that shit---lance armstrong's heart rate is the in the low 50s high 40s
 
I wouldn't put much stock in those machines. I am sure some may be correct and in the ballpark but I wouldn't bank on those results as true. those #'s are ok bro top is a bit high but HR is good.
 
Those #'s aren't to bad. Were you able to get your arm in the machine? the one at our local wal-mart I could only get it up to my elbow. I still took it but I don't think I got a proper reading. Besides that there was a lady using the machine before I got there. She just kept sitting there hitting stop then start again. I stood silent for about 8 minutes than I said "Are you going to be much longer?" She totally lost it. "I will be as long as it takes." She gets up and tells me I am the rudest person she has ever met. She leaves and walks off-Then comes back again to get in my shit. I just smile at her and don't say anything as she goes on and on. I think the lack of retorts actually pissed her off more.
 
those machines are not designed to measure an arm over 13.5 inches (something very close to that) I work as a personal trainer and I know that the "adult cuff" is only good for someone with an arm of 13 or so inches. The extra large is what you use for BB's. So do not worry about that high reading.

yeah I don't think I am going to put that much faith in those machines. It's just that I used them before off cycle and it was lower.
Rugby, my patience are so thin right now on my cycle, I would have told that lady off 4 minutes in. And when she came back to tell me off more, I would have made her feel so stupid for taking 8 minutes for a 2 minute test.
