That is not a huge fluctuation in multiple/sequential measurements throughout the day.
Most people can easily manipulate their BP/relax by a session of box breathing prior to BP measurement.
As far as an auto-inflate machine, I like Omron. Make sure you have one with the appropriate size cuff. Make sure you position the cuff correctly, and maintain the same posture when seated. Bending forward at the waist can make a difference..
Again, your measurements, if accurate, are negligible Yes, they may have prescribed you an antihypertensive. That's good.
Just on a guess and looking at one of your pics, I'm going to say your cuff may positioned be a tad low when measuring, but your measurements are consistent.
There's a lot going on "under the hood" in regards to your body. Your BP reflects this. Even pain can elevate your BP.
