Which 1 should I use? I get a higher BP on my left arm when I use the aneroid sphyg. but lower w/ DIGITAL.?

Answer 1

Look, the simple answer is that with the exception of some "difficult" situations, a digital cuff is not used in most medical situations because it's less accurate. Even if used, it is generally used as a "meter" to quickly detect large variances in the expected range. Normal pump/cuff (properly calibrated) is used to get "exacting" records for most procedures and/or visits...All the same, it is nearly impossible to do an accurate measure on yourself, so a Digital is going to have to give you a most reasonable measure...

All the best...

Answer 2

Isn't it fun when nothing is calibrated like a normal line then a disclosure for calibration being like maybe five to ???? out or above normal. No. The general public is led to believe that every machine is "the one" "the best" and go from there.
Ok, Digital probably is more sensitive to readings?
Is the cuff the proper size: place hand palm up on table; place cuff unfolded lengthwise on arm between wrist and end of length; see is cuff is half way around arm; if it is then the proper cuff size is that cuff...
Readings vary during the day depending on activities etc
