I'm noticing that my blood pressure readings are different in each arm. The left side shows 90160, while the right is 80125. Could you tell me which one is correct? Also, my lipid and sugar levels are normal, and I feel okay when I walk around, but I still feel anxious. What should I do?

It is recommended to consider the blood pressure reading from the right hand (80125) as it is lower and more accurate. To manage anxiety, you can take a medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg as needed. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure being 14090. Is that considered high? I've just turned 30, weigh 72 kg, and Im already taking rozavel 10 for dyslipidemia. Should I get on some medication for this, or could lifestyle changes do the trick? I do exercise daily for 20 minutes and eat less outside food and salt. What do you think?

take 3 readings after food for 3 days if it is still persisitant consult your doctor
