I'm taking two and according to my at home machine I am running over 150....course I was doing some things just before taking it.

Was at 130 the other day in the doctors office...so I may have a machine problem...

When mine gets down to 130 my wife waves a bottle of Crown Royal under my nose to revive me...

"home machine I am running over 150."

Be sure you have the proper cuff size. A cuff too small will actually read higher than the actual pressure. A cuff too large will show a lower reading. (not kidding here....we did a study back in 1972 at the Clinical Research Center, UTMB, Galveston, TX.) 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of the upper arm is appropriate.
