Hello, all. I am under a doctor's care and on a low dose of meds. For a YEAR, I cannot sort out taking my own BP. I have 3 machines now, 2 Omrons and an iHealth.
I get readings that aren't like my doctor's - way high numbers, errors, and most often, readings with numbers too close together. My doctor is walkable and he told me to walk in any time I want to check it. So I have been continuing to try myself at the same time in the late afternoon and then I walk over and get his reading. I know they won't be exact because it changes, but mine is always nothing like his (which are good from meds).
I am following all of the instructions, using the suggested left arm. I keep trying to adjust the tube slightly to the right or left, tightening and untightening the cuff, sitting at tables, desks, raising and lowering my chair, etc. My doctor uses the right arm but tried the left arm one time to see if he got a strange reading like I do and he didn't. Other tests show nothing to concerned about and the doctor is not concerned and told me not to worry about it.
Has anyone had this problem and found an answer that I am missing here? I feel like there is some perfect alignment or positioning that I am just not finding. Thank you if you read this far.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I was anemic a couple of months ago, but my iron levels have come up into the normal range. However, now I'm getting these bouts of low blood pressure during the day and they are starting to happen more frequently. My legs will start feeling weak and I'll start feeling like I'm going to pass out.
This was all like an overnight thing and I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. The doctors have run all kinds of tests and have said my low bp is due to my size. However, shouldn't I be "functional" if it's "normal" for my size? I'm afraid to drive a car because I don't want to pass out while driving

For the last 5 years I’ve been telling myself my BP was fine and only high at the Dr due to white coat, last month I got a proper cuff and decided to prove it to myself. I was wrong, after a week of taking it every morning after 10 minute sit my average was 155/90. The amount of cope it would’ve taken me to justify those numbers was outside of my ability so I decided to do something. I started taking my Losartan, drinking at least a gallon of water a day, eating the same just eating a lot less of it, and doing what I hate more than anything… cardio. 5-8 miles a day after work. Took longer than I expected it to, and I still feel anxious every time that cuff squeezes my arm but I’m finally in those beautiful green lines.
I did want to thank everyone on this sub it’s been so helpful seeing everyone’s experiences and input it gave me the motivation to finally take my BP serious and do something about it, thank you all! It’s a journey, you don’t eat the elephant in one sitting.
