So my bp is generally in 110s/60s and now the omron machines are showing 120s and even 130s/60s and 70s. Even hit 150 after a CCTA yesterday. Got a CCTA yesterday with no blockage but I'm super stressed about my bp. After waking up in the morning it's 116/68. However during the day and evening it's rising.

I checked with a mercury apparatus and steth and it was 10 lower than my Omron at 114/70.

Checked it 15-20 times and mercury is always 10-15 lower consistently than Omron. Sometimes Omron shows 140 and mercury shows 120. Very weird. What do I trust? Diastolic they both agree on but both mercury and manual are consistently showing lower readings.

I went to the doc and the nurse said bp was 120/80 and he measured it from the manual apparatus. Came home and measured it from Omron and it was 135 which was weird.

Im 30 and on telmisartan 40.

My diastolic has always been fine and doc said that even 130s is fine bp but I've heard it's not.

Basically what to trust? Mercury or Automatic? I know I'm measuring correctly with mercury as I listen carefully for the sounds to first appear and stop at 140 for a second or so and deflate slowly and they appear at less than 120 mostly.

The moment a layman discovers JLC and hears "the watchmaker's watchmaker," he thinks he's stumbled onto the actual pinnacle of high horology. What he doesn't know is that past marketing claims mean nothing in today's market. Sure, Ebel made watches for Cartier, and El Primero powered the Daytona — but look at where those brands stand now.

Even Richemont knows this, despite outspending Rolex on marketing without getting anywhere close to the same return. They're not deluded into thinking IWC or JLC have more cultural momentum than Rolex. The only person actually deluded in this whole conversation is the buyer who drops 10k on a Master Control Moonphase thinking he's bought the pinnacle of haute horlogerie.

JLC's low and mid-tier watches are machine-finished, mass-produced, and overpriced by 30-50%. The name is doing all the heavy lifting the watch itself can't.
