Am I checking my blood pressure the wrong way? Why is it fluctuating so much?
I bought one of those home blood pressure monitors and I dont think I am using it properly. I'm followingi what the book says, to have it about an inch away from the middle of your elbow in height, wrap it firm, not too tight and sit in an upright position. But this morning when I checked it it seemed too high as I just woke up so I did it about three times more and it was fluctuating all over the place.Here are my results and times they were taken TIME SBP DBP PULSE8.48AM12669708.50AM11267728.51AM1107169Am I doing something wrong? Why can't i get a stable reading?Help

Can home high blood pressure checkers be wrong? and What kind of illness could I possibly have if not?
Cause I'm freaking out I don't know what it is I have cause I've been to scared to go to the doctors. My symptoms are Nauseated feeling. Vomiting, feeling faint, It feels like my brain isn't there or like its shutting down. I get scared over nothing. and everything feels numb and it is hard to breathe... it also feels like my heart is racing.... could I have high blood pressure? Does having high blood pressure make it difficult to sleep because I can't sleep cause I'm scared and everything feels like i'm falling. My uncle has this high blood pressure checker... He checked mine and it was 109... but could it be wrong? or do I have something more serious? I also am low on iron but I take my pills everyday...oh I forgot 109 96 forgot the 96 lol

Big difference in systolic blood pressure between left and right...what's causing this?
I've been having occasional episodes of dizziness, fainting, concentration difficulty, difficulty thinking speaking, and short term amnesia covering 1 2 hours before the event for about a year now.Only today did I catch one soon enough that I had the presence of mind to take my blood pressure, and the results were rather disturbing. Measured on my left arm, my BP was 135 78 which is only slightly higher than usual . On my right arm, it's 214 104.I've taken it numerous times since then across several hours' time and the results confirm the device is precise, even if it might not be totally accurate. That means the left right difference is definitely there.I'm not sure how long this has been going on, though. I've been taking my blood pressure regularly, but I usually only do it on the left 'normal' side.I think this maybe a progression of whatever prompted my former posts on medhelp medhelp.org posts Heart Rhythm Carotid pains all the way to the aortic arch dizziness faintness mental difficulties pseudo seizurewhat are the possible causes of all of these show 1331466So, any doctors, students, etc out there that can tell me what this might be? Or even if it's something I need to call and see if I can get in to see my cardiologist sooner for?
