If you haven't, please do.
Speaking as someone who went 19 years without (age 30 to 49).
Had it checked in the ER after a heart attack. Was something like 280/160. Congestive Heart Failure. 6 months before my heart was fairly normal.
Been 4 years now, on 5 different BP meds.
Please have checked. Either at a Dr's office or by a professional somewhere. Many pharmacies have someone who will do it for you. (It's too easy to make excuses if you take it yourself with a machine.)
