Readings of 140s and higher are consider high blood pressure. Same for 90D and above. This article from the Mayo Clinic gives the ranges and advice on what to do:

SOURCE: inaccurate reading

I'm not sure why you need it calibrated if your Docotor says it's accurate but here is a web site link....

I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Blood pressure reading 150/76. Manual Blood pressure 130/72

A monitor using Hg is only a valid monitor reading. Most electronic devices produce approximate results and are mostly good for taking several readings daily and obtaining a mean daily BP. Device calibration appears to be not accessible to the the user.Also, depending on age & condition of your dad, sequential reading must take place after elapse of enough time for circulation to be at steady state in the arm again, or if you immediately after a measurement make another, even with the same monitor you will obtain a different result.

    SOURCE: My blood pressure monitor is

    Contact the HoMedic's Consumer Relations Dept @ 800-466-3342 Mon - Fri, 8:30am - 5:00pm ET, they can help you.

    Keep in mind, that improper placement of the wrist cuff can cause higher or lower readings, than what they truly are. Also, not keeping your arm at heart level can cause an inaccurate reading.

    SOURCE: When the blood pressure monitor reads E- error.

    It depends on which E-error you're getting.

    EE - indicates several things:

    • Cuff has been placed incorrectly. Always place cuff on wrist 1" above heal of hand.
    • Did you talk or move during measurement?
    • Shaking of the wrist with the cuff ON.
    E1 - Air circuit abnormality. Measure again.

    E2 - Inflation pressure exceeding 300 mmHg. Switch the unit OFF.Wait 1 minute, then measure again.

    E3 - Error determining measurement data. Measure again.

    Hope this helped you to determine which Error you're receiving. Please let me know.

    What is the range (Blood Pressure Reading) for an 83 year old man?

    Diabetes, alcohol use, and other factors influence the danger of high blood pressure, and often a lower set of number is recommended based on research than is commonly stated.

    Hypertension (defined as a blood pressure over 140/90 mm Hg) affects more than two out of three individuals over 75 years of age.

    Your Doctor should prescribed blood pressure medication if indicated since they are aware of factors that you may not consider important, including weight, daily exercise, and existing heart conditions.

    What is normal blood pressure for 75years old MALE

    Averagely, normal blood pressure is any figure below 120/80 meaning chances of stroke and heart attack is minimal. Anything above 140/90 is considered dangerous so for a 75 year old male the marginal difference can be considered okay.

    How low is to low with my blood pressure?

    Mayo clinic says: Most doctors consider chronically low blood pressure too low only if it causes noticeable symptoms. (Such as dizziness, especially when first standing up). Some experts define low blood pressure as readings lower than 90 mm Hg systolic or 60 mm Hg diastolic - you need to have only one number in the low range for your blood pressure to be considered lower than normal. I hope this helps!

    What to eat to raise blood pressure

    nothing to eat unless you want to clog up the heart but dehydration or lack of regular water intake affects blood pressure
    talk with a doctor as you need to fully understand "blood pressure" and what it means in the body
    Low blood pressure readings are normal and it is the high pressure readings that are dangerous
    Again talk with a doctor to be correctly informed and what your particular blood pressure readings should be

    What is a low diastolic reading considered to be for an 88 year old person?

    First age is not a factor.
    60 mm Hg or less is generally considered low blood pressure
    This is usually caused by congestive heart failure, and as far as increasing the pressure it would be a question for your Cardiologist.
