Can a blood pressure monitor give you 2 readings from 1 test?
I just took my blood pressure at home and it was avg. about 128/70ish w/heartbeat of 70. However, the cuff deflated when the test ended, and when I clicked memory it showed 170/80 and my other 128/70ish in 1 test. Is the monitor broken or do I have hbp? I didn’t eat like anything salty.
In its memory, it showed 2 readings. They are both the same time and date.
I got 128/77 or so for my reading.
In the memory, it showed 128/77 AND 170/70, which has the same time and date.
The way you worded your question is a little confusing. However, the cuff is broken if it gave you a reading, then showed a different set of numbers in its memory. Make sure the time and date are correct in the cuff. Also make sure you are looking at the correct times and dates when you look up past readings in the memory.
It is possible for you to get different readings for your blood pressure in short succession. Doctors recommend that you take your blood pressure once, wait ten minutes, then take it again. The second reading is the most accurate one.
