Unmeasurable high blood pressure?

iqwedding3 · January 2014

Hi everyone,
Is anyone here being treated for hypertension despite not being able to measure their blood pressure? My blood pressure cannot be measured in my arms, and the measurements they get out of my legs are extremely variable based on my position (lying/sitting/standing), and who knows what else.

Hi,

I am not in this position. However, I am a nurse practitioner and did a lot of my clinical in women's health. What is the reason that you are unable to measure your BP? I have a couple suggestions, just need more info

My arms are pulseless.

Oh I see..I'm assuming you have Takayasu's arteritis/syndrome or something of the like. I guess none of my sugestions or experience would be helpful. Good luck with everything!

Yeah, not a whole lot of people (none) have experience in this area, so I figured I'd throw it out there to the internet
