[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 106301, member: 18023"] Another use of blood pressure machine. I did an ankle-brachial index (ABI)test to check how well your blood is flowing. This is to check for peripheral artery disease, or PAD. This means you have blockages in the arteries ofyour arms and legs. This slows down your blood flow, and your limbsdon't get as much of the oxygen they need. The test compares the blood pressure atyour ankle with the blood pressure at your arm. Then there is aformula for how much the blood pressure should change between yourankle and arm. You are supposed to be laying flat on atable, so it's easier if someone helps you. I thought to check because after 40 min climbing stairs, I seemed to poop out more than I expected, but the test indicated no PAD. Likely just not conditioned enough and low testosterone. [/QUOTE]
