bp question

Lemme throw this kink in your chains.........

Depending on how "good" the person taking your BP is, also depends on the result.

The ones who pump up the cuff til your eyeballs bulge out of their sockets are NOT "good ones".

The increased pain and stress caused by overpressuring leads to a "false high" and can be misdiagnosed as hypertension (high BP).

Also if you tighten in response to the pain it gives a false high.

BTW - 133/80 is NOT "high". Not even close.
145/.. is where you will raise eyebrows at a doctors office.

 

you can try werner again, since they have your paperwork, and everything else...beg for mercy, and get it done....see what happens...

 

Wow, he didn't give it much of a chance, did he? I'm a borderline high BPer and figure the one year card will work just as fine. Or, meds.

 

You should've gotten a two year card for that reading. As long as it's less than 140/90 you get a two year card. I know I did.
