Are you following the instructions that come with them. No eating or drinking or activity to close to taking it? Are you sitting relaxed with your left arm in a stable position?

Dang man. I got mine for like 30 on Amazon and it is pretty consistent. I saw you are going to get checked out. I hope you can clear up the issues before there is major damage. BP can mess with everyone from your brain to your kidneys. I rooting for you lower that BP, buddy!

Try it again when you get home. Since you know a ballpark of where you are at the doctors.

Test on your left arm, with it supported on an arm rest around heart level.

I don't know man......you can get a better reading that way for sure......I just don't think finding a way to get the lowest reading helps with knowing what you are walking around at.

That's how medical professionals say to take it.

Definitely don't disagree with you. BP fluctuates and that is a very stable way to monitor it.

For ME I want to know what it's at walking around. I could probably meditate and do breathing exercises to bring it down, I just worry about the top end.

As much as I hate cardio...... Not doing it seems to be a recipe for a early grave lol.

I also won't touch gear if I'm not in the optimal position to do it. Too much work, no gear. Not enough sleep, no gear. Not enough time to properly meal prep, no gear lol

First thing this am. After dinner and a big meal, 120 over 60 is not uncommon. Usual is between 100 and 110/ 65

Hey you might want to go to the DR check your RBC level might be high. You can tell your DR that you are on gear they can't do shit about it and they will give lisonipril or another BP medication to treat your high blood pressure. Sure they will give you a speech about how steroids are bad for you blah blah. I had similar range is the only reason I am posting and soon the headaches when fucking your girl will start or when doing squats. Then the nose bleeds. At least go give blood.

126/61 with a 59hr. That is about 20 minutes after 100mg of caffeine so not too bad.
