<s>[INST] Thank you, doctor. I just again took my blood pressure on a home monitoring device. Today was 171 over 100, then 189 over 108. Yesterday was 150 over 93 and then 149 over 100. I was told when I went ER last Sunday to watch it since (under pain then due to rib inflammation it was 172 over 116 then 158 over 104...so I bought home monitor and todays 189 over 108 concerns me...I have a doctor appt. scheduled for Thursday, I have no other symtoms, do you feel it is well for me to wait until Thursday with the already scheduled appt. I have....again no other symtoms, is it safe for me to wait till Thursday in your opinion? [/INST] HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, let me tell you something you can not measure your own blood pressure even if are a doctor, because this procedure makes you little conscious and this won't give accurate result moreover the sphygmomanometer is also matter if you are using electronic device then this is not authentic, the accurate reading is only possible with Hg instrument, in my opinion you should go to see the doctor, and stop worrying about this, have a nice day. </s>
