Over the past couple of days I’ve had two very DANGEROUSLY low readings which make no sense whatsoever (123/32 and 120/43). After a blind panic check, the next reading was normal again, 30 seconds or so after.
During this time, I feel absolutely fine. Surely if my bp was that low I’d be passing out or already passed out?
Should I assume there’s an error going on here? Has anybody else had anything like this?
What kind of monitor is it?Watch, cuff ,wrist?
It’s a kinetik wellbeing cuff monitor.
Should be ok.
Maybe get it tested in surgery or shop?
It could be faulty.
Oh gosh. This is worrying. Should I be going to emergency with readings like that?
No - if you feel okay when you get these odd readings, its the machine, not you. Blood pressure machines with a cuff higher up the arm (not the wrist) are more reliable, but any machine can develop a fault.
I hurried out to get a new one and put one on both arms. One machine was okay and the other one was really low again - so it was definitely the machine!
Only if you are not feeling well.
Have you woken up with unexplained bumps on your body?😝
The other option is to take loads of readings over a period of a few hours and see what comes up.
If they are all over the place, then send it back for replacement.
Good luck.💚
Should I take BP meds? 
Going gluten free has brought my blood pressure back to normal?!
Update on bp reading
Dare I go back to my GP?
Am I experiencing a blood pressure med reaction?
