question: I am 36 years old. I was put on HCT by my doctor about 2 weeks ago. Today I decided to have  the office manager at my job check it to "see if it was working."  My BP was 170/130 in my left arm and 168/130 in my right. I also had the doctor I wo k for check it and an MA. All the same result. I called my doc ASAP and went in. They just put me on another medication for it and I see a cardiologist Tuesday. My question is, should I be scared? I purchased a BP monitor cuff. It's still currently 153/99.
