It’s not like I was active in the last couple of hours before I drove there and walked over to it. I’m in ok shape, don’t easily get out of breath.did you sit down for 20 mins before checking?
Your best bet is to buy a good one on Amazon. Then you can get familiar with it and check when ever needed

Arms aren’t huge 17 inch.
I did drink a coffee today around lunch. I usually don’t because I can’t handle it. For some reason a pop or red bull is fine, but coffee really fucks with me. I did t think it would last this long after, but that could be the reason. I still feel a bit caffeinated all these hours later lol
I will try again tomorrow without a coffee lol
I got one of those Amazon ones but it always reads way lower than the doctors. I don’t trust it.
So I’m not the only one who keep forcing it into the cuff to see if it will fit, lol.17 inch arm is big for those machines. Mine is like 17 3/4 I can barely fit my arm in the machine at superstore.
When I was like 28 I went to the hospital for something and I told the nurse that she will need a bigger cuff and she scoffed at me and said she uses that one on bigger people than me, she tried 2x and the velcro came undone both times before she got the big one.I don't even have big arms but every time I'm in the doctors office they have to use the bigger cuff.
I just like tight holes lol. The first time I pushed my arm in I was worried I'd get stuck.So I’m not the only one who keep forcing it into the cuff to see if it will fit, lol.
Maybe fatty arms are easier than muscular arms for bp. Just like the Walmart machine I figured it would be ok since the average creature lurking through Walmart weighs about 250+, but probably at 50% bfWhen I was like 28 I went to the hospital for something and I told the nurse that she will need a bigger cuff and she scoffed at me and said she uses that one on bigger people than me, she tried 2x and the velcro came undone both times before she got the big one.
