@larryhayes Larry no I wouldn’t stress over those numbers because a singular number by itself provides no benefit to a provider or to you. What healthcare professionals look for is consistency. As an example I see my pain doc every 3 months and I walk up the three flights of stairs to the office. Every time I’m there they take me in within five minutes of arriving and my BP is always elevated and they tell me so. They never give me the opportunity to sit and relax before they check it. But when I see my PCP of 18 years I’m always left waiting minimum five minutes in waiting room and at least five minutes before he comes into the room and my BP is always perfect. And his assistant never takes my BP, only him.
I’m assuming you are using an automated BP cuff but I cannot assume you’re using it correctly to insure you have accurate readings. Here is some assistance to insure you’re doing it correctly.
