Excellent video. My doctor told me to always take my blood pressure 3 times. To skip the first reading, and that usually the second and third readings will match. When one is relaxed.

Basically all of us has had our blood pressure taken improperly. U get in and they immediately put the cuffs on you and head rate beating 110 mph because I just climbed 2 flight of stairs and then I get misdiagnosed with hypertension

[Rocks_in_my_brain]

So I've basically never gotten my blood pressure taken properly.

Many Thanks for the advice 👍.
Interesting to know the proper process.

As a truck driver who is required by law to get a physical once a year in order to keep my job having my BP taken by someone who doesnt know what they are doing pisses me off which only makes my BP go up. Ive learned to tell them I have white coat syndrome and I need a minute to sit and relax before they take it. The last physical I had the girl doing it was really good. She put the cuff on and told me to close my eyes and breath deep and after a few minutes she took my BP and it was 123/70.
Some of her coworkers want to get a reading right after you just walked from the waiting room.

Thank you for sharing these excellent details! I never dreamed all these things were important!

[nanciehurst]

Thank you so very much. I never knew that.😊

[donnataylorup]

Yes LORD ❤!! I knew this intuitively, or at least some of it! Thank you doctor!!!

Hi! Whenever the nurse is taking my blood pressure, I feel so anxious, I get depressed by being there, and I have a panic attack. So, it's always so high 😮😔

[MyCleverHandle]

I always ask the nurse to come back into the exam room and take my bp AFTER I've been sitting still for awhile. If it's too high, I blame it on whatever the Dr. had to say. 😜

[dawnanderson]

True. Not everyone knows how to check BP. Quite a few nurses will rush me in the room, hike me up on the examining table and pop that sleeve on my arm. Here goes my BP as high as a kite .

[annette]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to do all of this at my next appointment!

[losthuphadlamini]

As soon as the dr tells me to relax, my heart starts doing 300 bpm. 😂

[earthAngelqq]

What about when you're getting your blood pressure?cuff tightens so tight its painful
they get this awful readings high

[janetwalsh]

I have to have mine done 3 times since I was diagnosed.

[chrish]

My wife is a nurse and checks patients blood pressure lying down because they are unable to sit in a chair.

[P.G.]

I insist they retake my blood pressure a few minutes after the initial one. I walked up 2 flights if stairs. I walk in...Boom. 150/90. When I asked for a redo...it's usually 135/78-ish. Big difference.

[donashoff]

Thank you so much ...never had a dr tell or do this ...always say oh its a lil high but your probably nervous !! Thx dr !!
