How much Pre-Workout one uses would play a role as well, especially resting heart rate.
Yeah...my numbers were fucksville and I have always had low to normal blood pressure. The highest I've ever seen it on PUBLIC machines (with regular size cuffs) is like 132/85.
This time it was 150/96 and 142/87 with HR of 92 and 90. It was about 2hrs after the end of my workout and likely 3.5 hrs after I had ingested about 350mg caffeine from a heaping scoop of PREJYM. I was also rushing to Wegmans before it closed on the drive over and trying to get through the store for a couple things and a readout before they closed in 15min. Add to that the public machine and the regular sized cuff and I've literally been anxious ever since.![]()
Another member recently inspired me to buy a home tester. I bought one of the better ones on Amazon and with the free shipping (Prime) it was under $40. I can check my bp whenever I want and like you I was testing in stores and supermarkets getting all kinds of crazy readings.I see you post a lot about health supplements so it would be a good investment for you

I bought an omron Home blood pressure machine recently and have checked my bp before and about 15 minutes after training and it was about the same
I bought the omron 5 series,it says it fits up to 17” armsThat is what I have, even mentions fits larger arms.

It just about always gives a reading that is close to what they get at the doctor's office. I used to do mine manually with a stethoscope and cuff but stopped when my BP got really low and I couldn't heart my pulse anymore. Most accurate would be doing it manually that way, but you have to spend money on a good stethoscope and those aren't cheap. THe one I bought was a cheap piece of crap. Instead of buying a nice new one I decided to just buy the Omron auto and I am not too disappointed. I need to try and use my stethoscope again though and compare the reading to the Omron's. My BP is now back up to normal and I should be able to hear it again. It was down to 85/60 or so and hard to hearI also felt like shit.
