AJ asked:


i am wearing a 24 hour holter for blood pressure – does it make a difference what position my arm is in?
I thought it needs to be on a table – parallel with my heart

I get different readings from the hospital and my own blood pressure monitor. So I was hoping somebody could recommend something.

I am only 20 years old and female. Not overweight. My blood pressure was consistently high over the past couple of months at a range between 159/94 and 154/89, it hasn’t deviated from that range in that time once that I know of. Doctor keeps checking with same result, but hasn’t started me on anything yet but says she will. Anyone know what she’s waiting for?
