hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understand your concern

digital BP monitors doesn't give proper recordings compared to manual sphygmomanometer.

but the reading of 180/80 is high

you are obese and that is the reason for your high BP

I can suggest you to check your BP at rest in different times of a day for 3 days with sphygmomanometer.if then also your BP is high you have to start on life style modifications , if it doesn't work then you need medications.

I can suggest you to exercise regularly and reduce salt intake.

hope this helps you
any further questions please let me know
thanks
