Info regarding monitoring bp

[GeauxDATY]

When taking our bp many of us bigger guys need to do it the oldschool way with a sphygmomanometer and a large cuff. I was getting consistently high readings with a wrist bp monitor (160/100+) but when I went to my Dr. he said that guys my size have to use a large cuff on a sphygmomanometer. It was only 128/74 taken this way. I control my bp with cardio, water intake and sodium limiting and on occasion Tadalifil. I also learned from my Dr. to only salt food after it's on the plate. I now cook with no salt at all.

Bingo. I give you credit for at least monitoring it and making sure its in a good/healthy range. Not a lot of guys do it yet it is really important. Your kidneys, heart, artery walls can take a pounding with high BP. The cialis addition lowers mine by a good 10 points which is great plus I get boners. Lol. I had to get a bigger cuff too. I was using the wrist one and my readings were scaring the shit out of me so I had to get one and now it looks a lot better. lol

Leg cuff ftw. I won't let nurses touch me without one - get sick of erroneous readings messing up my charts.
