we ride at dawn Member 4363, 1442 posts SQ 310, BP 250, DL 320880.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Any of you guys with abnormal blood pressure readings? I seem to get crazy variations in readings; I can literally feel my pulse start pounding in my face as soon as the cuff starts inflating, self induced illogical panic. My Systolic ranges from 118 to 152! Typically, it will be 144 until I chill out, and after a couple of measurements it's usually 125-132ish. Diastolic is always normal, although bottom end of normal if lying down. Anybody else have such fluctuations and/or have issues with a straight cuff fitting a non flat arm (tri/bi curve)?? | ||

Yes, on my mums boots one and I've only got a 17" upper arm, but the standard cuff is far too small and throws readings both high with a lot of variance. My real BP as measured accurately has always been a touch low - 115/70. | ||

Why get fat to look big? Member 1330, 4797 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 305805.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | I've an approved monitor, and it jumps all over the shop. Generally it settles after a few attempts to a normal reading, first few readings seems to stress me, I cant relax. Some of the initial readings would have me down as dead I'm pretty sure | ||

Since i didnt die i suspect most OTC blood pressure cuffs are questionably reliable. | ||

we ride at dawn Member 4363, 1442 posts SQ 310, BP 250, DL 320880.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I've sussed it, basically I didn't realise just how much different positions and body temperature can affect it! So basically: crossing legs + unsupported back + arm lower than heart level + feet unsupported + cold temp + crossed legs + need a piss + It's pretty consistent now if I sit same way and same time of day... 120-125 morning/evening, 136ish afternoon. I need to stop google doctor... has me thinking I'm past expiry. | ||

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11332 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | 145/70 at rest. Systolic can jump about a bit though depending on stress, bodyweight, mood etc. I control it with my breathing if I'm a bit anxious. I'm a 16 to 17 arm also and needed a larger cuff classed as large adult on the nhs. With the amount of fatties going about these days I'd have thought that would be a normal cuff size. | ||

#biggef Member 5263, 3492 posts SQ 260, BP 195, DL 260715.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | I've always assumed ppl who strength train would generally have a higher BP,just because of the whole anabolic training and stuff, a non scientific assumption based on no knowledge what so ever :/ does anyone else here hold their breath while sleeping? | ||
