blood pressure cuffAll About Blood Pressure CuffWith so many blood pressure monitors that there are on the market, you need one that you know that you can operate yourself. You will find that many of them are easy to operate, but you also need one that is accurate as well, so that you get the right blood pressure reading that you need. A blood pressure cuff is a cuff that is wrapped around your arm while your blood pressure is being taken. Having your blood pressure taken determines if your blood pressure is high or low. If your blood pressure is too high, this could cause you to have serious health problems. Consult with your doctor to find out what your blood pressure is and how you can lower or raise it. Who uses a blood pressure cuff on you? Usually it is a doctor or a nurse that takes your blood pressure and uses the cuff. However, your blood pressure can also be taken electronically by a machine. The nurse would strap the cuff around your arm and the machine would proceed to take your blood pressure. Why does the nurse look at her watch while she takes my blood pressure? The nurse watches her watch while she is counting your heart beats. The timing with her watch is relevant to the nurse getting the correct blood pressure from you. Why does the blood pressure cuff sometimes hurt my arm? When the blood pressure cuff is filling full of air, it will squeeze your arm and sometimes this will be painful....
