Answer 1

This will help you to understand your problem which can be due to fault of doctor.
1) In manual method the radial artery must be palpated while pushing the mercury up. When the arterial pulsation has stopped the stethoscope reading must be taken accordingly and as early as possible.
2) Some raise the mercury very high, and than take the BP bringing the mercury down slowly which results in excruciating pain in arm and numbness and redness.
3)However this will go away if you apply hot sponging and analgesic.

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
