9 Mistakes Measuring Your Blood Pressure At Home! No. 6 Is Dangerous

Are the blood pressure numbers you trust actually wrong? It's a shocking thought, but many people are making critical blood pressure measurement mistakes at home without even knowing it. As a high blood pressure doctor and specialist, I've seen the consequences firsthand. I had a patient who was constantly dizzy and exhausted from taking more and more medication for her "high" readings. The real problem? No one, not even her other doctors, was using the right blood pressure cuff size. Her blood pressure measurement was completely off. When we used the correct method, we found her numbers were actually low.

This is just one of the nine common errors I see people make constantly. With nearly half of American adults dealing with high blood pressure, an accurate blood pressure reading is not just a number - it's a vital part of protecting your heart and kidneys.

If you’ve ever felt confused by your BP numbers or wondered if your doctor’s office is doing things right, this video is for you.
