I think my home blood pressure meter could be faulty and giving me unusually high readings

I think my home blood pressure meter could be faulty and giving me unusually high readings, and also distress.

In the past, when I visited polyclinics and hospitals, my blood pressure usually hovers around 130/80 (borderline blood pressure).

On 7 March 2020, I bought a Microlife blood pressure meter for $69 at Toa Payoh Polyclinic. I started taking home blood pressure readings on 8 May 2020. However, blood pressure readings taken by Microlife blood pressure meter can be unusually high from time to time. I started suspecting it could be faulty.

This morning (26 May 2020 Tuesday) I went to Singapore General Hospital at 10.10 AM. The following photos show 3 separate blood pressure readings taken at Singapore General Hospital, all taken this morning. All blood pressure readings are below 130.




Compare the blood pressure readings above to the possibly erroneous home blood pressure readings taken below, which are unusually high from time to time. It is enough to cause anyone significant distress.

Subject: [24 Mar 2022 Thursday] Erectile Dysfunction and Viagra I have erectile dysfunction due to taking medications for mental illness (schizophrenia). Without Viagra, my penis is soft like jelly most of the time. There is no way I can penetrate a woman’s vagina due to erectile dysfunction. Today is the very 1st time I am taking Viagra. It allows my penis to remain hard and fully erected for 2 solid hours during sexual intercourse. Thanks Viagra! I can finally have sex! I am already 44 years old. What am I missing out in life?????? Do I still qualify to be a Japanese Adult Video (JAV) porn star actor???????? Link:  https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158113552827735&id=646397734
