I am not clear what concerns you. The diastolic reading of 94, does that seem too high for you? The systolic 124 is only a tad higher than normal.

Are you taking your blood pressure sitting? You are supposed to sit and do something neutral for 5 minutes before you take the blood pressure. Blood pressure is higher when you stand.

Try measuring after you have been sitting for at least 5 minutes.
