Keep the monitor level with heart and don't move and flex arm, be seated and ensure proper cuff placement.

Ok Guys I just had a chance to sit down in my Recliner and try this again.
This time all tests seem to be somewhat consistent in the readings.
I put the cuff on and shved the thing up my arm. Lined the tube so its in center of my arm.
I also made sure I could get 2 fingers in at the top of the cuff.
Heres my readings. Keep in mind I didnt Take any T3 today yet.
Im thinking I will back off the t3 to half of what I been doing for a while.
Let me know what you guys think.
120/75/86

They usually run 40 to 50 at cvs or Walgreens, might get lucky at Walmart and find it cheaper

The one I bought was $60 but they had a special on it where they give you a coupon for $10 for in store purchases.
That's a well-spent $60. You can be happy now with your BP. Once you learn how to use them they are excellent. FYI it took me a lot longer than that before I could get consistent readings. Now, just for the fun of it, start to learn what your body is like at particular readings and you can get quite accurate at pre-guessing. It is also an awesome early warning tool for low-grade infections.

Really glad it turned out well.

that isnt to bad...mine stays there on cycle pretty much but will drop when off and its perfect some days and not others...it seems like i go through stages of having high bp..
i know when my bp is high because i feel over heated....it happens a lot when i sleep..get night sweats a lot.
what im more baffled about is ur heart rate...149 is high for a resting heart rate imo...
now u have me going to rite aide after work to check mine
