    If it is high in this machine, you could purchase one of the small, electronic ones and get a cuff that will be the right size for your arm. Otherwise, if it's high, you could always make an appointment with the doctor.

    WTF? Who the hell has 13 or below arms? I mean is the machine only made for women and small children?

    Yea the machines at Wal Mart arent known for being very acurate and a cuff thats to small can give false high pressures.
