BEE Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 It is the pulse pressure I think there was just a post about pulse pressures just recently...very common to be high or low with me in DYS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4cem Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I've had some discrepancies also. Not as wide as yours. I think that is pretty common.How do you take your b/p? Sitting with feet flat on the floor and arm level to heart, or lying down? I just never know which way to take it for the most accurate. I usually can't take it standing,,the machine reports an error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CyberPixie Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I take mine just propped up in bed. Arm by side straight out. I find my BP is lower when I lay flat. When I stand it can go to about 140/90! Propped up around 120/80 thanks to florinef. Laying it can be 100/70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
