Why does my doctor say that he couldn't get my BP even with manual reading? What is the range of manual sphygmomanometer? If my BP was really that low w/altered mental status, will that cause any long term damage to my brain?

A 25-year old male asked:

Hi. Can someone explain the "auscultatory gap" with sphygmomanometer instruments? I'm training to be a PA, and am taking my own BP. Electronic device tends to run higher than manual readings, but I do not know if manual readings are correct either?
