Brief Answer:
Hypertension
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You went recently to your doctor to have your blood pressure checked and their blood pressure machine will not read your blood pressure. This just means their machine is defective. The nurse or the doctor should do your blood pressure with the appropriate size cuff and do it the old fashion way with a cuff and stethoscope.
If they can't do your blood pressure properly then you may want to go to a fire station and have an EMT do it with the proper cuff.
Until you get your blood pressure reading i would not be worried. The fault is in their machine and not in you.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
