Blood pressure measurement - automated vs manual method

Since Mayo has started using the automated BP machines,I find their readings to be inaccurate compared to the manual method.There is no reason to apply tourniquet like pressure to a persons arm.it is painful.I have seen that a person can request a manual check, which will probably make the nurse upset.

I tell them every time that I want a manual cuff reading. With the manual cuff I get a more accurate and lower BP reading. My doctor told me that the auto cuff misreads because I have a low heart rate. But I also believe the extreme tightness and pain of the auto cuff causes a higher reading
