I very well understand that , the manual measurement of blood pressure is the best . But I have a very good quality wrist blood pressure monitor of OMRON . Today I was sitting on my bed , with folded legs and I tried to measure my blood pressure through wrist blood pressure monitor and taking laptop table as the base for keeping my elbow . The readings were 126/76 and HR was 89 . Now I changed the place and sat on a dinning table with the chair . Now keeping the elbow on the dinning table , I found my blood pressure was 118/70 and HR was 84 . To conclude , sitting on bed and measuring blood pressure keeping hands over laptop table was higher , as compared to when I sat on a chair and dinning table . Why there was a variation , when I measured by sitting on chair and dinning table , it was lower . Being from the medical field , I do understand that manual blood pressure monitor is most accurate but still I am trying to understand the reason for the variation between sitting on bed with folded legs and then sitting on Chair and dinning table .
