I was at the store today walking past the pharmacy and just for the hell of it sat down in the blood pressure checker, I never tried one before. I rolled my sleeve up and tried to put my arm through the band but it got stuck around my forearm. Then I read the directions and it said it something about "made for 9 - 13 inch arms". Cripes my wrists are almost 8 inches!

Anyway, does anybody have one of those blood pressure testers you can buy at the drugstore and are they easy to use? I'm thinking about getting one if the band will fit around my arm.

Find the ones that use your forearms to measure your BP.

I have one from the drug store...it is easy as hell to use....my arms are always usually between 19-20" and it fits fine...just get the largest size available....they make them for fat people who can't use regular sized cuffs, so they will fit just about anything.
