@jimpncc Thanks. I've resigned myself the fact that I wasted my money on the stethoscope, because it requires too much skill for accurate measurements. Will probably get one of those electronic devices for measuring BP

@jimpncc Out of curiosity, how long do you wait, after you finish your workout, before you take your blood pressure? The last nurse who said my BP was elevated, saw me after I ran to her clinic because I was late. The first time I took my own BP with a stethoscope, I got a measurement so high...
