Here's some info on the Left vs Right issue many have a problem with: www.myheart.org.sg/heart-news...

While currently new guidelines suggest taking it on both arms and picking the one with the higher number as "your" blood pressure, it has been shown that this increases the amount of people diagnosed with (and given drugs for) hypertension. The traditional guidelines was for consistency to measure the left arm (for reasons in the video).
Regardless of which arm you choose, if you're unhealthy, it's likely that it doesn't matter which arm you choose. If there's a huge difference between the arms, well...that's a BAD sign and you need to stop watching UA-cam and see your doctor NOW.

Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs, take one spoon each of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink matcha green tea and sleep well ... That's what I've done and just celebrated my 80th birthday lately. 😊😊😊
Finally!! Someone that can clearly show and explain how to take blood pressure, and mistakes to avoid.
Dr. Story You sir are better than the three cardiologist I have gone to! Aren't we just so sick of idiots! This last biologically male doctor lol I went to had a female nurse who tried to take my blood pressure on my right arm. Was offended when I insisted she do it on the left. Blood pressure was through the roof . The so called cardiologist listened to my heart for two seconds then wrote an Rx for two drugs! Later on I got a call from the nurse who asked me how many mgs of one of the drugs he had prescribed . I hung up on her. The incompetence is astonishing! Thanks for giving real usable advice!
Thank you for these blood pressure videos they are excellent.
Stick with it! He and she!!!!! No big deal- good for you!
Thank you, very informative. Well most of it. Please don’t apologize for your choice of words. Brave men and women have died for our right to say what we want even if it offends someone.
Thank you for sharing some valuable information Doc! Love watching your videos!💞✌️
You are so welcome
I've been alive 78 years and in all that time I have only seen three male nurses. Therefore anytime I refer to a nurse I always say she.
Thanks Adam. We chatted briefly one day, and my heart is good apparently. Still have excessively high BP - so appreciate your videos.
Wonderful!
Another problem to be aware of when getting a BP reading at the doctor's office is they may be using a broken cuff. That's happened to me before where the reading for the systolic was 60 points too high.
I'm so bloody glad that you are not going to play the pronoun game with people. The more I watch your videos and see who you really are, the more impressed I am by you. I also like your honesty when you told smokers they need to quit. Have a fabulous day!
Thank you Dr
You’re welcome 😊
Keep up the good work Doc. Love your videos. They’re very informative.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you Doctor for your Info very helpful. Do not worry about the gender pronouns....we love that you take the time to educate us out here.❤
also coffee raises mine : 10-20 point even with one cup in the morning ,, to get more accurate readings stop the coffee 24 hours prior .
My BP is always what your thumbnail is 130/74… is that concerning? Sitting rested, and such…
I’m BP meds, and feel fine otherwise.. I’m a 46 year old male non smoker or drinker..
I just can’t get it to 120/80
Goodmorning Doc.......These are some strange times people get easily offended...🤣🤣 what about the position of the arm to high or to low/angle?
Also consider that a tight object (watch, bracelet, etc) around your wrist area may effect blood pressure readings. Even if you remove the item just before the reading is taken. Consider freeing your wrist while in the waiting room so your blood pressure reading is more accurate. No one wants a Doctor pushing medication from an inaccurate reading or terrifying you with your possible immediate demise.
Great video, you had me chuckling at parts 😉
Don’t get me started on pronouns!! Definitely puts my BP up!
Good point about not being well, it made me think of those who might be experiencing hay fever at the moment. The higher levels of histamine in their bodies may well impact on their BP.
Shall we keep going to see how many other reasons we can come up with? lol 😂 😂
Actually I’ve been currently told to monitor my BP because it’s on the high side (I’m desperately trying to avoid medication!), but I’ve not been well, so I’m not concerned as I expect it’s a knock on effect. Although, my monitor is occasionally recording irregular heartbeats. I really don’t want any complications! lol
Nevertheless, I have noticed when I take antihistamines, my BP does come down - so a good time to take a reading! lol
Anyway - thank you once again for another super video.
Is your feet supposed to be on the floor vs dangling in the air on the exam table? How about the nurse asking you questions while taking measurements?
Another great video, and thanks for not being so politically correct!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I looked up your suggestion that we should calibrate our home blood pressure device and the information states that they are pre-calibrated by the factory and a regular person cannot calibrate the kind of over-the-counter BP devices we purchase.
They're pre-calibrated, but over time can wear out (it's a machine). Take it to the doctors' office. Compare to a real blood pressure machine.
I can do that, but I've never been to a doctor's office where they do a blood pressure reading properly. They consistently violate all of the rules for how to do it that you've laid out so clearly in your excellent videos. One of the big ones that's happened to me lately is doing an intake interview while taking my blood pressure. You're not supposed to talk while you're getting a BP reading.
Great video Doc! I’m so glad we are not WOKE!!
I agree, because not every Dr is willing to check my records I keep of my readings let alone calibrate my machine. These videos are so helpful & truthful, I wish there were more docs that would watch & learn from these. Thank you.
My Dr. Has asked me to take my machine in to calibrate. Compare numbers with their BP instrument. Don't ask the nurse to do it, half of them can't even take properly. I wait for Dr. and he does it.
We should recover the use of the mercurial sphygmomanometer.
I owned a Validated Omron Fuzzy Logic Intellisence Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. BUT the readings are always different when compared with readings of a mercurial sphygmomanometer.
I got the scientific report on the evaluation and validation of the Omron and report says:
"The proportion of values agreeing to within 5, 10, and 15 mmHg were 88, 99 and 100% for systolic and 86, 100 and 100% for diastolic blood pressure ...."
Aneroid dials will need to be factory certified and recalibrated every 6 months.
What if the operator has poor hearing and doesn't realize it?
@@jimdandy8996 Age-related hearing loss (or presbycusis) only loses high frequency sounds, BUT korostkoff sounds s thru a stethoscope are low frequency sound so even an old person can hear it. Use the bell side of a dual head stethoscope.
How long should I wait if I want to take a second reading on my left arm?
I put my cuff to high on my arm and I was getting high numbers... It said 2cm above elbow and I was putting it 10 cm above elbow...
Even cardiologist check on right arm,they don't remove shirt from arm ,talking during bp check ,release mercury too fast ,
They ignore 93/145 as it normal,
If a person take bisoprolol 2.5 mg at night and in morning his BP is 80/110
Is that normal ?
How do you calibrate blood pressure machine??
Exactly. Does an automatic BP monitor even need calibration?
@@JO-qn8gy 🤷♂️ first I've heard.
Lol! She or he . Hopefully people don't get offended that would be silly. Sending love and hugs thank you I totally enjoyed this video and all of your other ones your other ones
I stopped taking cholesterol pills at night, what you recommend i should take instead and I take 10 milligram high blood pressure pill in the morning
great video, you're so funny :)
Thank you!! 😁
What do you mean by 5. Proper Calibration?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration
It means to make sure it's working and giving accurate numbers.
When you in pain blood do blood pressure go up
If I check my blood pressure on my right arm because I have nerve inflammation after a surgery, on the left arm exactly where the cuff goes it will be ok?
I find that only my diastolic number is high sometimes is this something to worry about?
Thyroid issues???
@@frustratedresearcher3186 I take synthroid as I had one side removed, but my tests have come back with normal levels.
You also should mention alcohol

Here in California the correct pronoun would be "they" not that I endorse that usage which I personally find confusing.
Most BP monitors tell you if the BP cuff isn’t correctly seated .👍
You are correct
@@AdamJStoryDC cheers Doc 👍another well presented, informative video .
Really like you! Btw, you are correct, there are only two sexes, lol, this world has gone nuts. God Bless you❤️
Imagine getting mad over he or she enough to feel like crying about it. My doctor is a she but if someone asks and calls her a he I don’t correct them unless they want to schedule an appointment with her.
😂
"They" as a singular pronoun when you don't know, or a role could be either, or the person is a hypothetical, isn't a new thing -- singular "they" been around over a thousand years... older than even English (which changes ALL the bloody time...)... so it's silly and more than a little sexist to assume nurses are "she", because back before you were born(you aren't THAT old) a male nurse would have been called a "medic" or something.... You can learn.
