That's not significant at all. Hypertension is often asymptomatic, but 132/90 is nothing. Quite possibly a normal variation, given the time of day, stress/anxiety levels, etc. Take multiple readings. Without removing the cuff. Take the first one, rest for a minute or so, take it again, and repeat once more. Discard the first and take the average of the last two readings.

I understand completely I've felt like that many times. If your blood pressure is 132/90 while being nervous then it's probably pretty good when you aren't nervous. If you want to knock it down a bit you can add some of these items to your diet garlic, ginger, flax seed, hibiscus tea, lemon balm tea, hawthorn tea but hawthorn is very effective it's been known to work as well as blood pressure medication so if you are taking a blood pressure medication do not combine it with hawthorn. Eat less sodium and exercise that should knock you down into the normal range you aren't far from it now. I think you are stressing yourself out over your blood pressure reading and that's why it was a little high and continued to get worse.
I posted a video called mild hypertension in the genral chat forum if you haven't watched it give it a look.

Oh, believe me you are not alone. I was struggling with this for a while. I though I had high Blood pressure, so I bought the most expensive machine and start measuring 10 times a day. At one point just looking at the BP machine, I could feel my anxiety raising to the roof.

132/90 is not that high, like its mentioned above, all depends what time of the day, what you did before you measure yourself, and of course, the mother of all, the anxiety.

You can learn to control your blood pressure with biofeedback. I can control my heart rate pretty well.

That BP you mentioned is fine... good actually... Mine was slightly higher then that when my Dr. took it and he said "that seems to be normal here"

I get what you are saying about it causing you more increased tension... I used to take my pulse like every hour until I realized it was all just a part of the anxiety that came totally out of the blue... the best thing I've done with it all is get outside... walk, stretch, bike ride...goes away immediately almost... you flush all that energy out...

That's not too bad .
One thing I noticed that has helped bp in the past is eating a small clove of garlic per day.

 

[gadamsgrega2]

that garlic idea is a good one... I had some on pizza the other day and I know it made me sleep well that night...

 

[Izthewiz]

Its best to take 1 clove like a pill .
I enjoyed doing it it seemed to help.

Take a magnesium pill it will lower your blood pressure. Also stop eating salt and eat lots of vegetables.
