Thank you. Had my arm laying flat and was getting high readings. After watching this and realizing I needed to elevate my arm to heart level I started getting normal readings

[@Paramedstore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ahmedezzat2888]

thats true , At 1st i was laying my arms ,i thought i have high bp 165/90 , but you should raise your arms at the same level of your heart and get around 125/80

[@arudistemptation]

Before watching the video, it was funny because I did commit a lot of mistakes 😂 Thank you for the information though, leaving a like 😁👍🏻

[@Paramedstore]

Glad it helped! Thank you!

[@feyrie]

I did it all wrong and my results gave me alarming results 😂 but glad to have seen this video. I’m all good to go!

[@mahershalalbaz]

Same here man.. I was about rushing to the ER 163/103 😳

[@angellareid7000]

Thanks. Very simple, straight forward, and easy to understand

[@Paramedstore]

We're glad it's helpful!

[@howdydoodey3872]

Keep the monitor away from the wrist bones - move it 2 or 3 inches away. It will then give the same readings as an upper arm cuff monitor.

[@caspers_cousin]

This is great instruction. Thanks! The errors shown can be easily made by anyone. Thanks for calling them out.

[@Paramedstore]

Is there a BP monitor to use lying down, as been waking and think BP went up. ANy auto BP monitor? TY

[@Paramedstore]

Experts do not recommend using blood pressure monitors when you are lying down. You can measure the pressure while lying down, but the results will not be objective. In a situation where you lie down after sleep, the pressure is lower than when you walk. This is normal for all people. When a person gets up from a lying position, their blood pressure rises. But in normal situations, this should be no more than 130/85. If your blood pressure rises more, see your doctor. If your blood pressure drops as you go up, then you should see your doctor too. Perhaps the reason is in the vessels or some kind of disease. In any case, we wish you good health!

[@movie0007]

The nurse at my doctors office said I just have to sit there with my arms relaxed by my side when I run the BP monitor on my wrist. Why do I have to keep the machine level with my heart? My friend who has a wrist BP monitor was told to do the cross your heart, where the wrist with the monitor you grab the opposite shoulder. When I do that method, my arm shakes. If I do the elbow on table method, I can't keep my arm still. I just feel like with both of these methods I'm getting inaccurate results.

[@Paramedstore]

Different devices have different measurement technologies. Our wrist blood pressure monitor gives the correct result when you keep your elbow on the table. We recommend placing something under your arm so you don't strain your muscles (to avoid shaking). The main thing is that the device has to be located in line with the heart. But if you are in doubt, you can check by yourself, comparing the results obtained in different ways with the results obtained using a sphygmomanometer (manual blood pressure monitor). At the same time, follow the measurement recommendations for objectivity of the results.

[@TheDanielsDiva]

Will you get accurate reading if your I use you right wrist? I heard left recommended in the video. Can you compare left and right wrist readings? Thank you

[@Paramedstore]

For this type of BP monitor, the left hand is most often recommended, yes. But we cannot tell you exactly how different the readings on your right hand will be from your left. It all depends on the health of the blood vessels and personal reaction. For an accurate answer, you need to measure your blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer on your left arm, then measure it with a wrist BP monitor on your left wrist, and then compare it with measurements on your right. If it is still not possible to measure blood pressure on your left arm, then measure it on your right. It's not that critical. But it is better to discuss this point with your doctor.

[@TheDanielsDiva]

@@Paramedstore thank you for the info

[@robertmarshall9493]

Hello, I accidentally switched my Paramed from reading in mmHg to kPa. How do I change it back? I can't find anything about it anywhere.

[@Paramedstore]

Press on/off button for 10 secs to display unit switching interface then press MEM key to select mmHg/KPA, press ON/OFF button to exit 👌

[@godwinloveth5237]

What kind of battery dose it use

[@Paramedstore]

2 AAA batteries required. (included)

[@carlosmelendez8317]

Can these be wrong because my brother who is 25 years old healthy measured his BP and it read 150/98 and he felt completely fine. Then my mother checked hers and it read 160/87 and she was resting and felt fine.??? In other words can cheap blood pressure cuffs or blood pressure cuffs that are more than 2 years old be this inaccurate?

[@Paramedstore]

If you did everything correctly, as shown in the video, then this is not normal for this device. Please contact our support manager by email: [e-mail] You can also check the batteries in your blood pressure monitor. Maybe it's time to replace.

[@sassylady2001]

Many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it or without symptoms. I had blood pressure of 140-164 for years but didn't feel it and so I didn't worry about it. Then I learned when high blood pressure does to your vessels and heart. I made a serious mistake in not worrying about having high blood pressure because I didn't feel any symptoms - so I ignored it. I finally went to the doctor for a physical (I had just moved and not bothered to get a doctor) and first thing they found was the high blood pressure. I've been on BP medication now for 10 years and with medication, as I sit here, it is about 123/76.

[@hellokittydimaggio]

Lol all my patients r bed bound 😭

[@Paramedstore]

In this case, it is better to choose an automatic arm blood pressure monitor or a manual sphygmomanometer.

[@charlesjohnson1501]

Can this cuff give you are reading on the right arm wrist?

[@Paramedstore]

We recommend measuring your blood pressure on your left arm. But if there is no way to do this, then you can do it on the right. But it’s better to compare the measurements in the doctor’s office to understand how they will differ from the measurements from the doctor’s device.

[@chubbynoah]

Will my blood pressure be higher after a meal?

[@Paramedstore]

A person's blood pressure typically drops slightly following a meal. However, foods high in sodium can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure. So measuring blood pressure immediately after eating may give an incorrect reading.

[@TheInfluuence]

Hold MEM to clear memory if anyone is trying to figure it out.

[@Paramedstore]

Yes, holding the "MEM" button will delete all measurements.

I can't find my manual. How do I set the date/time? Mine is totally off. Also, I have orthostatic blood pressure issues where I need to check my BP lying down, sitting up and then standing. Do you have any suggestions to make my readings as accurate as possible? In a standing position, I can get very lightheaded and woozy. At times, if I'm not close enough to somewhere to sit, I can pass out. My doctor is aware of the problem.

[@Paramedstore]

TIME ON AND SYSTEM SETUP 1. Press the "SET" key to turn on. 2. Press and hold the "SET" key until the year number displays and flashes on the LCD to enter setting mode. 3. Press the "MEM" key to adjust the year. Then, press the "SET' key again to save your setting and enter the month setting mode. 4. Press the "MEM" key to adjust the month. Follow the same steps to adjust date/hour/minute. It is better for you to measure the pressure while sitting, as shown in this video. We wish you good health and normal blood pressure!

[@samuelreyes4796]

Having your hand closed like a fist (not clenched) instead of letting your hand open affects the reading? I noticed that letting my hand open gives a much better reading (10-20 mmHg lower on the systolic pressure and around 10 mmHg lower on the diastolic pressure)

[@Paramedstore]

You are right. The palm should be open, relaxed. In the video, we say that the hand should be relaxed. No need to clench your hand into a fist.

Sure. If you use the device incorrectly, there is a high chance of getting incorrect results. Please always follow the instructions when measuring.
