90 or 92 does not make much difference the regular morning evening reading after lying fown camly 10 min will give correct picture. Reduce salt fatty and sugar diet have light walk in morning drink more water and watch on urine output. You will know and get releif.

Yes the two machine vary as mercury machine gives exact reading and electronic increases and show you the reading so never rely on that reading.

If you are measuring your bp with digital machine, then always take mean (average) of first three readings to get the result. With digital bp instrument, there comes usually variation in bp than mercury based instrument. So you must go for bp checkup with mercury bp instrument. For more queries, contact us.
