> Kara, a manual one isn't hard to take. Just have someone wrap it around your arm. Then get a stethoscope and place flat circular end to your inner arm. Blow up the cuff nice and tight. Not over your clothes. Then put other end in your ears. Slowly let the air out of the cuff while listening. The first sound you hear is your systolic and the point where you stop hearing anything is your diastolic. Diastolic is the most important number. Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,The problem is that I live alone so I don't have anyone to help me wrap it around my arm.
