Michelle, you have to take it when you are at rest and as relaxed as possible, it's only then that you can really expect readings like 120/80. And it should be at least 30 minutes after eating, too. So a few mildly high readings here and there are not a problem, certainly not an immediate problem, plenty of time to try again, schedule an appointment with the doctor, and such. Hope that helps.
