Yes and I have small arms. It will sometimes do exactly what you describe and reinflate, squeeze too tightly and I know that reading will be high.

I though the re-inflation was because my upper arms are large, but it happens to you, too! And you are right - the cuff really hurts when the machine re-inflates. So the pain only adds to the excessively high reading.
