AME Defrauding me?

I’ll make it quick. I’m a 121 guy, never had a history of high blood pressure, usually around 120/75-80, very normal. I go to new AME for sake of scheduling convenience. This guys INTERN tells me I have 160/110, takes it again 158/102, tells me to come back next day, 155/110. Says go to doctor, I panick and I go to the doctor, they take it, 127/72, 123/75, they send the record to the AME office saying it’s normal and no prescription is needed, and also told me the others were probably using too small of a cuff. My AME says they need to recheck me before they issue the medical. Am I being defrauded by my AME? If they claim it’s high again, I believe I will wrongfully be deferred and I’ll not be flying for months.
What do I do?

Yes I will never be seeing this AME again, ever.

EDIT - first red flag was the actual AME never did anything, just stopped in at the end. The interns or whatever they are did everything, including what I am now realizing improperly taking blood pressure.
