Haha true that! So far so good at the GP’s office. I’ll update what happens on my medical
Pressures are indeed higher in the morning. So our IOPs if you're worried about glaucoma. I've got my own BP stuff and if I'm not careful I can get wildly erroneous readings.
The proper way is to:
1. Have the patient sit with the arm roughly heart height and supported.
2. Place the center of the bladder over the artery (NOT the stupid assed center of arm line which often are wrong).
3. Palpate the pulse and inflate the cuff just enough to stop it.
4. Using the stethoscope, listen as you deflate the cuff.
If it doesn't work the first time, don't just pump it back up again. And don't pump things up to the patent pending setting.
