Automatic Blood
By Charlie on Feb 4, 2007 in Hearing & Orthepedic
Can it be harmful to take your blood pressure multiple times within the hour?
I have an automatic at-home blood pressure monitor and there are some times when it has an error reading because I have trouble with the arm cuff and strapping it on correctly. I usually wait about 2 minutes before repeating the reading and sometimes I will still mess up. There are times when I will take a reading on the same arm about 4-5 times within 15 minutes. My question is, can this be dangerous or harmful at all? Sometimes it will just leave me with a sore arm for a little while.
it will not harm you physically. however your mental health may be an issue here. Taking repeated blood pressure readings like this indicates hypochondria.
