    Bp?

    Wuz up bros I took my BP last night and it was all over the place, 156/70, 148/90 and sometimes higher. I took it this mourning as soon as I got up on an empty stomach and it read 1)148/58, 2)119/57, 3)133/58. I think thos numbers look fine what do you guys think? Should I go by the mourning readings or both? I would appreciate some feedback, thankyou!

    Take it at the same time every time. Also, it is best if you are seated and let yourself rest for a few minutes...then take your reading.

    when I say tight it feels like it is going to come apart, also that is why I do it three x'sbecause I think the machine isn't to good so I just take an average, what do you think?

    Thanks bro I think I will get a new machine with a bigger cuff, I heard the standard ones are for a 13" arm, so that won't work.
