[QUOTE="AbsoluteZ3R0, post: 63848, member: 15174"] Tonman, according to your original post, it sounds like you work out a lot and might have big arms. Arms greater than 13" in diameter will read high on standard BP cuffs. This started happening to me about a year ago, and I was seriously concerned I had high blood pressure. I tried a larger cuff and it came back normal. I haven't started TRT yet, but when I visited the Defy office for my physical, the guy who took my BP noted it was high (141/80), and I mentioned that it was probably the cuff. He retested using the old fashioned manual pump which has a larger cuff and it came out 126/80. If you're using a standard size cuff and have big arms, I recommend trying a larger cuff. [/QUOTE]
