A member asked:
Can blood pressure be so high that digital machines can't give an accurate reading?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I know of no properly working machine that doesn't measure high blood pressures in a person stable enough to have it taken. Some digital machines give faulty readings when batteries are failing, or they are not used properly.
