But that's not the point of this post. The nurse was doing vitals on me prior to the doc seeing me. She puts a BP cuff on me and says I think we'll have to use a bigger one. She takes my BP. Immediately feels it's off. Asked if I took my high blood pressure medication. I say yes. So she puts on the bigger cuff and retakes my BP. She then says, that's more like it. Said if the cuff is too small, it puts artificial pressure onto the arm and causes a high BP reading.
So I guess I'm doing something right in the arms department. LOL.

Yep have same issue. They still will take with wrong cuff and freak out at times.
