Check if the electronic machine is properly calibrated..Secondly check d batteries.Ideally there should not be so much difference in blood pressure recordings..I suggest get your machine checked first for proper calibration..Till then measure your blood pressure manually..
Thank-you for your query
Next Steps
Try to measure blood pressure with some other machine also just to get an idea..
