Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have the same experience, about 40/30 difference with my 4 devices.

I took my own with 7 different devices and the averages varied by 40/30 mm Hg. Scary. CE Grim MD In last 11 years I have tried several methods for bp measurement at home and finally reached the conclusion that for more precise n reliable readings I have to use 3 different brands of bp meters and each occasion of measurement, I use each one after a 3 min laps between readings. at least 2 hrs after a meal seated feet on ground, back leaned to chair ....etc...as prescribed to standardized bp readings...JNC7 ...etc. However, the key to precise bp reading is when the 3 bp meters indicate very close systolic, diastolic, pulse values. If one bp meter consistently shows far diff readings then it is replaced with another brand until the 3 bp readings are nearly identical or consistent. Max. 61M L adenoma by NP59 scan. High aldo not low renin. med combo #75={Spiro=100, Amlo=10, Indap=2.5, Ramip=5, Metf=1000, Prav=40, Feno=67, K.cl=120 mEq} I read the paper about correctly taking a BP. I have a monitor though unfortunately it is in SC at the moment. What do you do to make sure your machine is callibrated correctly? Do you bring it to your doctor? I took mine in Walmart yesterday. No back on the little booth. Sat for a minute and BP was 177/110, sat a few minutes 165/98, sat a few more minutes 143/90. Is that normal for it to drop so fast. I was walking in to pick something up, but was by no means running.-- l Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Yahoo! Travel to find your fit.
