[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 281069, member: 30851"] My blood pressure is the most interesting. My left arm is always better than my right - the nurse and I have demonstrated that many times! :lol: Viv 8)[/quote] The instructions with my BP monitor state that when settig it up you must try both arms initially then always use the one that gives the higher reading in future. So I assume that there is a scientific reason for this phenomenon but hey don't explain. When I test my Bp at home it is always in the low 20's over low 60s. he hospital readings are simlar. When the DN taks it it is something like 200 '98. She doesn't ge t my point that the evidence indicates that her monitor is less accurate than mine! Yes I do know abou White Coat Syndrome. Apparenly she doesn't! She doesn't get the point about home moitors and meters of all kinds being useful mainly to track trends. Its a shame....... [/QUOTE]
