[|Human|] I never suffer from blood pressure my doctors would say my pressure is like a babys 110 over 60 etc. Today i take my blood pressure using wrist type digital and gave me a read of 153 over 105 on the left wrist, i did it again on the right side and received a read of 155 over 108... Is this wrist digital reliable?
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry about this. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. We talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. Electronic wrist measuring apparatus are not very realistic. They are strongly related to they're battery life and artifacts of naval periphery. The ideal way to measure blood pressure is with a cuff positioned 5 cm above cubical region and with a stethoscope. Anyway, the fact that you have been always with normal blood pressure values does not exclude hypertension. It might just have started. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls and a holder pressure monitoring to have a full view of your values. Hole I was helpful. Wish you good health Best regards.
