OK. I’m the village idiot apparently.
I bought this one thanks to the recs in this thread. (Much appreciated BTW one of the things that makes this place great)
This thing reads super high on me. This fall I had some trouble getting dizzy if I was bent over working on stuff so after harvest I started monitoring my BP thinking that might be the problem. This thing was reading super high so I figured that’s what it was. Made some diet changes, exercised more and slept more. Haven’t been dizzy while I’ve bent over, but this thing still reads high.
Had a doctors appointment so I brought it in.
Manual read 132/74
This thing read 141/96
It’s reassuring that I’m not going to pop, but I’m wondering if I can make the thing work. I’m always sitting. I position the inflator where it needs to be. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
FWIW it reads the wife normally.
Any advice?
