Or if its noisy? That makes no sense.

 

mine was usually in the range of 150/95+ range when i checked it on those machines. so i eventually went to the dr where it was true that it was elevated. a change in diet, cutting out alot of fast foods and canned foods did wonders for my BP last 2 times i have gone to the dr i have been hypertension free. Once in a while after a stressful night at work i will have high BP but for the most part i am in a healthy range now.

 

Let's see I'm on 25mg Cozaar once a day, 25mg of Metropolol twice a day, 30mg Imdur once a day...I've got it under control. I am running in the 120's over 70's.

 

i havent checked but if i had to guess, my bp is higher than it should be.

normally i dont really get to worked up about stuff but lately, with the house sale, work situations, being away from my wife all the time, i am edgy as fuck.

 

The machine listens for your pulse while it deflates the cuff. If you make noises, you can fool the machine.

Once I was working a Native American drum festival, and I was playing around with an electronic BP cuff that you can get from Walgreens. It got thrown off a lot by the drums, and was basically useless.

 

I was dead silent, no one was around, and it nearly cut off my circulation...like I could feel my blood REALLY pushing through my veins where the cuff was.

 

Lay off them pizzas and cookies meng! You know this!

Did you make an appointment?

 

Hahah...actually went out and bought a bag of chicken and had that last night. Yogurt and some fruit each night.

Need a board :sad:

Naw. I am just going to walk in. And afterwards probably fire my doctor...he doesn't care for me as a patient at all.
