I'm not familiar with the detail of BP testing. Is the more modern device, which is plug and go, more reliable than the more old fashioned method of listening with the stethoscope.

Do people find that their BP is elevated when seeing a doctor. Maybe a bit anxious and 'white coat syndrome'?

For both electronic and manual blood pressure meters, readings are influenced by many many factors. These range from the build quality of the instrument, the condition and posture of the patient, and the skill of the examiner. Manual evaluation with a stethoscope was the gold standard for decades, and I think (assuming the proper equipment and training is at work) it is still considered the most accurate measurement.

White coat hypertension is widely accepted as a real thing. The psychology of being examined can definitely have strong effects on the heart. I have that happen constantly.

172/104 with a mabis large adult cuff. My girlfriend checked it. She inflated the cuff to 270 when she checked it. I love a tight blood pressure cuff. I took hers also. 138/72. Adult mabis cuff. Inflated to 250. She likes a tight cuff also.

Good evening all of you

My blood pressure was measured with a manual Erka Switch 2.0, with a Green Cuff superb size 4 cuff and the Littmann Lightwweight II S.E stethoscope.

My values were measured by my roommate.

Left arm: 255 / 170mmhg pulse: 172bpm

Right arm: 260 / 180mmhg pulse: 184bpm

Left foot: 285 / 200mmhg pulse: 180bpm

Right foot: 280 / 205mmhg pulse: 184bpm

I'm not fine myself. I have severe complaints and will probably have to go to hospital. ...

Mine is 95/72. If those that running high are heading down the path for a trip I my rescue to the hospital for evaluation.

If it is above 140/90 you should be very concerned.

At my Dr visit a week ago the nurse checked it at 144/86 with an electronic cuff. The doc took it later at 124/70 manually. It varies. When I check it in the morning it’s around 120/70 something. @Firegirl911 95/72. You inspire me to exercise more!

108/60 left arm manual with medium cuff, heart rate 136. I have respiratory issues and my heart rate is always high.

Those of you with b/p's greater than 160/100 on a consistent basis or heart rates consistently greater than 100 should be making appointments to see your doctor unless you know the reasons for the elevation. Even then you should be under the care of a physician. Strokes and heart attacks can have no other symptoms than elevated b/p or heart rate. An elevated b/p can also damage your kidneys.

Last check at PCP's office (11 weeks ago) was 128/78, pulse 64, sitting up, left arm, taken manually. I am on hypertensive medication, but he was very happy with those numbers.

One needs to be consistent when measuring blood pressure. The best position is with one sitting down, feet flat on the floor, the arm with the cuff even with the level of the heart. If the person is in a supine position, their blood pressure will usually be higher than sitting. We have also found that a person with low BP, by drinking several cups of water, we've found it raises the BP somewhat. As an EMT, have taken many vitals.

I've taken my BP in the morning, it's an acceptable level for me. I've found that after a coffee enema, it goes through the roof, takes a bit for it to come back to normal. - the hoseman1

I check with sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Usually about 120/85 in normal situation.

In the looney bin. Most all of them have these portable stands that have the blood pressure meter and pulsometer on them and they take your blood pressure temperature and pulse ox all at the same time. They just come around to everybody. Sometimes they make us line up but usually they just come around to everybody wherever you're at

I just had my blood pressure taken today. I went to the doctor. They used a welch allyn large adult cuff. It was maroon. They did it 3 times om each arm. My results are below.

Right arm: 134/100, 140/100, 142/104.

Left Arm: 138/102, 140/96, 158/92.

They did it electronically and it killed my arm. I had my girlfriend take it when she got off work. 132/68. I checked hers also. 156/80 left arm. I went to 240 on her and she pumped to 220 on me. She said it hurt her arm.

I check mine in a seated position on my left arm. I usually use Welch Allyn large cuff and Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope. I use 2 elastic bands sewn to the correct size of my arm to hold the stethoscope head in the correct position. I rest my arm on a pillow at heart level.

I have one of those wrist cuffs that my doctor told me to get.
