Home BP monitor won't work on fat arm




By mrstea on Aug 14, 2009

" "
Monitor works ok on slim husband's arm but shows error on my fleshy upper arm.
The cuff goes over my arm easily & remains fixed on inflation
Other than lose weight is there any other trick to employ?
It hurts like crazy & I am a bit weary of trying.

Hi there. First of all relax and don't worry about using that home monitor. It is designed by the same person who designed the tourist class airplane seats.........lol.......one size does not fit all.

that said, any reputable doctors office or druggist will take your bp for free. just for the asking. good luck.
