Video: In this video, I’m going to tell you the effect of arm position when taking blood pressure. There are a ton of techniques that can go wrong when you measure your pressure and arm position is a crucial one. For most taking your blood pressure at home seems easy. Wrap the cuff around your arm, press the button and wait for the reading to display. Unfortunately, there’s more to it than that, and mistakes can be giving you measurements that are not typical of your daily pressure. And even if you get your arm position perfect, if you don’t do one simple thing with your arm, research says it can raise your bp by 10%. Keep watching and I’ll tell you about that one thing also. First, For correct arm position, your body needs to be in the correct position. You should be seated in an upright chair with back support. Your feet should be flat on the floor and your legs uncrossed. Your arm should be positioned outward from the body, and supported by either an arm rest, table, desk or similar support. The middle of the cuff has to be wrapped around your upper arm, depending on your home monitor, the distance from the bottom of the cuff to the bend of your elbow will be...

Thank you! These Dr offices always get it wrong! They rush you through it with no quiet time. Knowing they have no idea what they're doing stresses me out, and I'd be very uncomfortable correcting them. Recent nurse had me holding my arm extended straight out to side unsupported! I felt pressure having to do this. No wonder my BP was high!! I ignored it, did it properly when I got home, it was 10% lower!!

[@100PercentOS2]

Another great video. This one needs to be sent to every doctor's office in the United States to educate these dummies.

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thanks for the compliment and sharing!

[@danielvargas3066]

Agree they took my bp laying down and way down my elbow morons

[@Jadedmystery]

So my nurse taking my blood pressure with my hand resting on my thigh or knee is incorrect? That's good to know..

[@punchymuffin6402]

I love listening to this guy talk. BP going down just listening 😂.

[@sdlock83]

The narrator has a really adorable voice lol!

[@BigNoCapybara]

Took my BP with arm straight down and it was 150/86 Took it 3 minutes after with my arm at heart level supported by a pillow and it was 127/83

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thank you for sharing.

[@TomGrubbe]

Yeah same here. It makes a huge difference. At the Dr. office they always take it with my arm hanging down unsupported, and it's always 10-20% higher than my readings at home where I'm at a table.

[@3DGFan9000]

@@TomGrubbe yea same. I got put on meds for high blood pressure, and they took it with my arm unsupported and below my heart. Taking it at home at heart level and supported my readings are very normal. I feel disgusted i got put on medication for incompetent doctors

[@근육돌이밥이]

mine lower when my arm is hanging down than when supported...weird

[@royweasley247]

Thank you so much, Now I knew doctors doing a lazy job in my city. Every time I go to them, 10-20high than home test, bcoz they are doctor, I didn't trust my instinct. Now thank you again confirmed my doubt!

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

[@bikedawg]

Great video, but it is super important to note that BOTH the upper arm AND the lower arm MUST BE AT THE LEVEL OF THE HEART for an accurate reading.

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thanks for commenting.

[@satpak]

Yes elbow must be straight same level as heart!!

[@mukhtarmirza7937]

Love your all videos. Very well explained in simple language. 👍👍

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thank you for your kind words. Have a great day!

Great video, well spelled out. You just earn my subscription.

[@webhostingtips1021]

Thank you. Have a good day!

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

You too!

[@jenniferhudson1423]

Thank you for the video.

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

You're welcome

[@thetawave2473]

So I shouldn’t be standing on my head? Well now somebody tells me. This definitely explains a thing or two

[@user-ne2gv3ch5h]

How to find the midpoint of the sturnum? Midway vertically or horizontally? Looking at a diagram of where bones are doesn’t help me as mine are covered in skin which gets in the way of looking…

[@thetawave2473]

Lol

[@aaronpolakiewicz1582]

Thanks for the video, I have hypertension and currently take meds. I recently at the Dr getting a DOT physical with a reading around 150/99. I was sitting on the bed with my feet dangling and my arm hanging way down below my right atrium. I only got a 1 year certification vs a 2 year . Wouldn't the nurse and PA know this?

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Hi Aaron, I can comment on my own experience. The nurse/medical assistant never gives me 5 minutes of rest. Often my feet are dangling. Last month one took my BP over long sleeves. I wasn't there for a BP issue so I'm less concerned, and so are they about my reading which is only slightly off. I can only imagine if I was there for high BP. What are your readings at home compared to the doctor office?

[@techandgadgets2015]

Love the videos. Keep them coming!

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thanks! Will do!

[@worldview730]

Thanks 👍

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

Thank you.

[@fitnessworkoutplans8968]

Thank you.

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

You're welcome!

[@AH-cy4md]

It looks like using a dining table for arm support is a bit too low; at least for me at 5’8”.

[@bloodpressureexplained4609]

It's a combination of the table height, chair height and body frame. That combo works for me but may not be suitable for someone else.

[@sherrybirchall8677]

I wish you had included one representation of everything done correctly. A pictures helps when using a thousand words you know.

[@cars654]

Good luck getting the cuff on if your short is stature, putting it on yourself is next to impossible. I have given up, I will use a wrist device instead. Spent 40 bucks on something I can never use !

[@geoffwright9298]

What is a good reading?

[@justwannagrill8548]

Is there anyway to reliably read my pulse while lying down

[@sabi2584]

I went to have my BP read earlier today. They sat me down for 5 min before starting the monitor. My arm was at heart level sitting on the counter next to me. It read 144/84. They had me sit another 5 min before checking it again. This time they had me stand up and raise my arm while they started the monitor. It read 127/75. Is that a true reading or is that forcing a "normal" reading?

[@antiaging6886]

Thank you.
