    If your arms are over 15" dont put much faith in the machines. mine are only 16" and they read on many occasions 160/69. scared the crap outta me. i went to the doc, and he used a proper cuff. the readings were normal.

    LOL, I know what you mean, I always have to remind the nurse to get the large cuff when I go to the doctors office.... My home unit has the regular cuff, and I just use it for relative measurements instead of absolute measurements....

    Red face? Check your red blood count as early as possible. Your symptoms are the same that I got when my RBC was to the roof.
