If you tested it at the supermarket, you were probably walking around first. Blood pressure is supposed to be measured at rest.
Also, measurements can fluctuate a lot. If you're really worried, get one of these and measure yourself for a few mornings in a row.
I've been using this Panasonic EW3109W Portable Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor for a little over 7 years. Great cuff, really accurate.
Wait, WTF? He tells you that you have high pressure, and all he does is not prescribe you birth control? You are following up the blood pressure thing, right? Because 1) if there's an underlying cause, you need to find it and 2) if there's no known cause (very common with hypertension), then you can control it very easily with meds.
I was diagnosed with hypertension at age 30 (it's genetic, so thanks Dad!). After we had determined that it wasn't just a freak one time occurrence, and there was no disease causing it, my doctor just prescribed me a beta blocker. She didn't say a damn thing about birth control.
You're not a smoker by chance, are you? Because that will increase your risk for stroke on the pill. Haven't really heard of people being turned away from the pill because of hypertension though (especially since it's such an easy fix).
Edit: If you suspect that you really do have hypertension, you can monitor it at home with something like this. Blood pressure monitors are surprisingly cheap, especially if you learn how to use old fashioned analog ones that the doctor's office uses.
Looks cool and everything... but is it worth it... as it costs 4x more than this

I'm nervous at the doctors too. Every time.
What I did was get a BP monitor off of Amazon. This one. along with a large cuff. What comes with it must have been made to take BP readings off of a chickens foot.
Anyway, I started monitoring my BP every day. Took the results to my doctor and he was happy.
At the docs office my BP readings were 140/90 and 85 bpm. At home or work they are 124/82 and 69 bpm adverage.
It's hard for anxious people not to be anxious in situations like the Doctors office.
