Feeling dizzy or dizzy? Have you recently diagnosed hypertension and taken medication? Rebuild your blood pressure! Even better, if a professional nurse has a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer, pay attention to your blood pressure. Normal blood pressure should read 120/80. Blood pressure that reads higher than the period diagnosed may cause your doctor to diagnose you with the billing code ICD-10 (I10) HYPERTENSION. I'm worried about a two-digit question; Did the person use the blood pressure automatic and did he use the proper technique? It is not a secret or it is not known that some technicians will do their job better than others. This concerns me.
The technique is used when taking blood pressure. The device used is of paramount importance. The reason I say this is because automatic machines will give you false testimony against a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer. With the help of a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer, a technician can listen or hear the first stroke, which is a systolic number where the vessel begins to open and pressure on the vessel walls is measured when the heart beats. Last & # 39; - diagnostic number; the vessel is open, and blood pressure is determined here, and the heart lies between the beats. It makes reading a systolic diastolic. This indication can determine a person’s blood pressure. A diagnosis of hypertension or hypo-stretching or a normal condition will be more accurate when listening through a stethoscope. I believe that this method is more reliable and should be used for diagnostics, and not for using an automatic machine.
Automatic blood pressure machines: automatic machines can be reliable if the base level (using a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer) of an individual pressure has already been determined; otherwise, there is ambiguity in reading. Automatic cars offer fast, fast and hurried which can be correct, but more often incorrect. Some automatic machines can make more accurate readings than others; most of them will not even read the same person using the same weapon at the same time. I did not study cars, but I became a victim of an automatic machine used in my doctor’s office. Summarizing the use of automatic blood pressure machines ... indications can be false and should never be used for diagnostics, especially those used on the wrist.
Oh, I know that someone says: "Well, cars are used all the time in the hospital, so they must be somewhat reliable." Correctly! Machines used in hospitals and other emergency facilities are not the same caliber machines used in doctors. offices and clinics. Listen, I'm not saying that I don’t trust cars; I will tell you about your own blood pressure and how it was measured in all abilities.
Technique: the technician of a health worker should be noted and spoken, and not be an automatic machine or in the usual way. For example, blood pressure should never be taken with bulky sleeves due to clothing. The cuff should start gently, not tightly or loosely. Rubber air tubes should be placed in the tuberculosis space, and not in the back or elsewhere. As auscultation, the stethoscope bell should be located directly under the air tube. For auscultation accuracy, the area should be quiet when using a stethoscope.
My experience: In 2013, my doctor diagnosed me with hypertension. I asked him. I had my blood pressure after six months thereafter and, of course, the high reading was never disclosed. So, I stop taking the medicine. At that time, I was taking a small dose of lisinopril, which in any case made me cough almost to death. By the way, the cough stopped about two weeks after stopping lisinopril. It was the worst experience ever! Sorry, but people should also know this.
I went back to the doctor’s office for a visit to diabetes and noted the office assistant’s technique that put pressure on me, and she read something highly. Well, the technique was gone, and I did not believe in reading. The doctor asked me if I took my own medicines for AD, and I replied: "No, because I do not have high blood pressure." Then he began to look at what he was reading that day, and assured me that I had high blood pressure, and asked me to take medicine to take it off or do it normally. I said OK, but had no intention of taking the medicine. I again checked my own BP with a nurse (my nurse), who used a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer. medication. My base is a tutorial (120/80). I knew it.
So, the next time I noticed that the technician used the automat and cuff again, and my pressure became high again, and at the same time of this visit the doctor thought that he would send me to a specialist in diabetes education and stabilization. During the first visit, the office assistant took my pressure with a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer, and he read quite normally. The doctor walked in and said: “I don’t think you have high blood pressure, but continue to monitor him and let us know if he is above 140. I said he’s sure.
Time passed, a year or so, when normal pressure was recorded every three months, until one visit sounded high, even with conventional equipment, but I cannot remember this technique.
He read high, and the doctor prescribed me Losartan 50 mg once a day. I had to take my first dose for a short vacation, so I could not control my pressure before I took it. I was driving home from Arkansas and realized that I could not feel the sidewalk when I was driving; I have a head and dizziness, and I had to stop to rest until the dizziness and lightheadedness disappeared in almost an hour. I was convinced that I did not have high blood pressure, I was non-functional and weak, because I unnecessarily took an antihypertensive drug and decided not to take Losartan until I saw the doctor again.
The next time, my husband joined me for one year at the doctor’s office, where a nurse assistant uses a machine gun. His blood pressure is always normal. After visiting the same doctor with the same help in the office, he was told that his blood pressure should be monitored because he reads HIGH. What for? Because office help, a nurse's assistant, a nurse's aide or even a nurse misunderstood his blood pressure? I know that she did it, because the same man took mine, and he also read well. I was shocked to think that this could not happen. I thought, “Is this what is happening in the world? Maybe only this country for monetary or pharmaceutical greed? "I thought:" I need to warn the public about this unceremonious attitude to blood pressure? " ? The warm part of my heart, in which most of my heart made me write about my experience, because it can happen more often than necessary, and people need to know.
This is not a petty faith. This is more realistic than the traces of Sasquatch, which I have never seen, but it looks like others. But people who have had similar experiences will reflect on their experiences and hopefully add light to this reason of public awareness.
