how to check bp with machine - #24563
I am really confused about something and hope someone can help me out. Recently, I've been feeling kinda dizzy and had some headaches, so I went to the doctor. They mentioned checking my blood pressure, but I honestly have no clue how to check bp with machine. The nurse used this like, electronic device at the clinic, and it looked super easy, but when I tried at home, I couldn't get it right. I think I might be doing something wrong! When I put the cuff on my arm, the machine just beeped and flashed numbers, but they were all different. One minute it said I was normal, then the next, it showed something really high. Like, how can that be right? Is there a specific way I’m supposed to position my arm or something? And how do I know if the reading is accurate? I feel really anxious because I want to keep track of my health properly, especially if there’s something going on! Any tips on how to check bp with machine would be really appreciated!!! Thx!
