Always believe manual machine… the sphygmomanometer. There are always variations between different machines. Hypertension is defined only if minimum two readings in a week 3 days apart are high. For further queries or guidance contact nine three seven zero two eight four three seven six.

For digital BP take 3 readings at intervals of 3 to 5 mins and get average that's nearly a correct reading, Try such reading at different times of day over 4 to 6 wks if most of readings are above 140/90 treatment is needed

Keep recording BP . With both manual and digital machine on the same arm . Back to back without any interval. (Or else mention it as right arm - digital and manual and left arm- digital and manual) Keep a record of 3 days . Then consult with the chart . Note: even if it is 130/80 it is pre-hypertensive So, maintain salt restricted diet and brisk exercise for 30 mins daily. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Avoid stress and sleep well at night .
