Automatic cuffs are nearly always inaccurate for me, especially when my blood pressure is misbehaving. I switched to a manual cuff made to be used on yourself; the stethoscope is sewn into place on the cuff to aid in one handed use. I had no clue how to take blood pressure when I purchased it, and was a little intimidated at the thought of learning how. However, as it turns out, it is simple!

I figured out my automatic cuff was giving me inaccurate readings when I took it with me to the doctor to check it against their manual cuff. Prior to that, I had no clue! The systolic measurement was off by 10 or more each of the 3 times we checked it. My cardiologist said automatic cuffs are inaccurate for a decent sized chunk of the normal population - by far not enough where they are useless, but enough where it is worthwhile to check if they provide you with the same reading as someone gets manually at a doctor's office.
