May i ask what disease I am currently
suffering?
Another problem involves in the reading of
digital blood pressure monitor device ( i
bought the model OMRON M2). I want to ask
how to read the index on it as the doctor
ussually takes the first heard stroke of
blood pressure as the systolic index and
the last hearing as the diastolic.
However, my digital one seems to work so
different although I saw the number start
to flash from 140 or more when
deinflating, its final result indicated my
BP in the normal range (I measured at home
by myself) 110/67.
So i would like to know the exact method
to read the index on the digital monitor?
Will it be less accurate than the mercury
based one?
Why my BP stared to flash from 140 but the
final result depicted the systolic as 110
instead of 140?
What is the highest pulse of a male adult
? What is the optimal value for it?
Thanks for your kind attention
It seems that your digital blood pressure
monitor device is OK. It also seems that
you are so obsessed with your
“disease” that you can’t believe
that your blood pressure is normal. In
fact, it is very possible that you are not
ill. Anxiety can cause blood pressure to
increase at medical institutions, thereby
showing higher values, than in home
conditions. You might try to STOP
measuring your blood pressure and START
asking for help from a mental health
doctor. Be aware that if you believe only
in abnormal results you will create an
environment to support this belief.
