Also if you take it on your ankle you need to be sitting with your feet up. The most accurate b/p is taken on your left upper arm. I wouldn't rely on the ankle reading and try to just take it on your arm, you will feel better if you do, cuz you wont stress that it might be that high. And that can make it go up.
