It's funny how every one of these videos give different instructions on how to do this. I guess good luck picking the right video with the most accurate information.
If only the staff of more hospitals- including UM hospitals - were to approximate this technique. Instead they take BP with a stressed patient sitting on a table, legs dangling and back unsupported as they take one measurement while asking questions. My BPs done myself at home or at a clinic are ALWAYS under 120/70, when done by "professionals" they are usually higher than 135/85.

I couldn’t agree more!
That is so so true. Lol. Especially. When you are running late. That’s the worst.
i have a phobia from BP equipment (that big machine) , but when the doctor check my bood with his easy BP device i feel more relaxed
Yessss me too!
Yeah, I feel pretty nervous when I go to the doctor on its own. But then when you have people asking questions and coming in and out of the room, it makes it worse. I'm sure this elevates the blood pressure.
Didn't help me...I watched this specifically for where to put the cuff and it breezed right through that part...ugh
Yeah this video told everything to do before but when it got to the point of the video was just like "yeah take your blood pressure." like WHAT 😂😂
Make sure you get your pen and paper 😂. Thanks, I’m special needs, I need to be told that.
I was told you have to have the cuff in line with your heart.
Also, I thought you had to crook your arm a bit so it wasn't dead flat.
Lastly, I do my morning reading still laying down (supine) in bed. Some people say this is the best way to take a reading?
What if you don't have a chair with arms arms or table that you can support yourself with? Can you do it from the edge of a bed?
I think this is right about food, you should not take it immediately after a meal as it will be higher, 2 hours sounds fair enough
Very informative content coverage thank you.
Anybody know what is Hybetez Remedy about? I hear most people treat their high blood pressure issue inherently with this high blood pressure remedy.
Sorry I know this video is over 7 months old but I have a question. How often should you take you BP? Everyday?
multiple times for accuracy
Do anybody know about Hybetez Remedy? Does it really work? I hear most people treat their high blood pressure issue naturally with this high blood pressure treatment.
",,,Take the reading a third time and record the lowest of the two." Does she mean the lowest of the three?
I thought your supposed to raise your arm a little bit
are you supposed to raise your arm
Oh dear, wrong, Never take blood pressure on right arm always left arm and always against the skin .
Idk about never my doctor takes my blood pressure on right arm sometimes
