Just coming here will raise your blood pressure!

You gotta be careful with the cuff size on these things. The Omron has a cuff size of 22 - 42cm which is only about 16 inches max. If the cuff is too small for your arm it can through off the figures.

In saying that I guess you aren't actually flexing your arm when you cuff it are you...

Hmm, see now that has me wondering. The cuff they use does seem unusually tight. When she does it she usually keeps her hand down on the Velcro part because it wants to open as it's tightening. Sounds like those shoes we had as kids when we rip the Velcro straps open.

Nothing has changed... I'm just taking reading every day at the same time. When I went to Dr..it was mid day had been working. I do physical work. So I'm guessing that may of been it. Seems like my BP has been mid 130s average since I been taking it every day. I feel a lot better about it. You should get a BP machine bro.. ya can't go by one reading at Dr office. I did n it got me all fucked up and worried.

Now I'm seeing a different pic by doing it every day..everything constant. Look at this am... Mid 130s. Then I did 2 more readings back to back...didn't change cuff nothing.. just cleared n restarted machine...2 readings in the 120s. Like Bori said..if I do an average of the three..I'm about 130.

Lots of inconsistent shit with this for sure. But if I do same thing day in day out I'll have a pattern and I feel a much better understanding of where I'm really at.

need a bigger cuff bro. If its too tight the reading can be elevated. They are supposed to do it on your forearm I think if they don't have a bigger cuff. Some of them are pretty clueless though I think.

well what the fuck size does my doc have? kiddy size? i'm telling you they need to hold the fucken thing on. and no i'm not bragging, i could care less. i'm just trying to figure out if my BP is actually that bad or not and i cant do that apparently with the wrong cuff size. you would think the doc would have a standard size. maybe the docs is just used so much it's crap. i'll go to CVS today.
