Hi Lybrate user. Blood pressure should measure with these measures_ in sitting position hand should be in resting position in level of heart. Urinary bladder should be empty. Feet should be in touch with ground not hanging. Should measure after 3 minutes of rest on chair. 2nd reading should be measured after 15 minutes. Bp should not measure with digital machine for diagnosis. If it is >130/80 called hypertension. Age is 25 year so it is most likely that due to some stress blood pressure increased. In this scenario anxiolytic recommended and ecg should be done. Thank you.
