Blood pressure machines will not read my pulse...why?
For some reason any automated blood pressure machines wont read my pulse. Its been happening for over two years now. Every time i try to donate blood they have the same problem, and i am not able to. Even professionals have a hard time and have to do it manually, but even then they have a hard time. Why would this happen and how can i make it so my pulse will read because i am trying to donate blood to help people and this is getting in the way Has this happened to anyone else? Any help is much appreciated...THANKS I have had more than 5 machines not read it and more than 10 nurses try. A lot of the time they say this is the first time that they had the machines not read a pulse
Blood Pressure machine gave me three different readings...?
So I park my car at the local wal mart and walk directly to the blood pressure machine. I sit down, press start and the first reading is 139 86. Then I immediately restart it and get a reading of 126 75. Then I immediately restart it again and get a third reading of 112 68.Whats the deal? Which reading should I trust? Was my blood pressure elevated at first because I had walked from the parking lot to the machine?taking the BP repeatedly in the same arm should have made the readings go up...not down.
