BloodPressureA young girl came for a health examination at the hospital.
“Hello, come in and sit in the chair, first we’ll check your blood pressure,” said the nurse who met her.
The girl walked over and sat down in the chair, the nurse took two cuffs that were lying on the armrests of the chair and put them on the girl’s hands, and then tightened them tightly.
"Aren't you feeling tight?" - asked the nurse.
“Everything is fine, but why are there two of them?” the girl asked about the cuffs.
"To get more accurate readings and measure the pressure on each arm, are you ready to start measuring?" - said the nurse.
"Yes"
The nurse pressed a button on the device, a buzzing sound was heard and the cuffs began to inflate. The girl jerked a little in surprise, as her hands began to be squeezed by the cuffs. When the cuffs inflated to a certain level, they began to deflate, and the device began to make squeaking sounds. The girl realized that the measurement had begun. But suddenly the cuffs began to inflate again and they inflated even more than the first time, squeezing the hands quite strongly.
"Why did they pout again?" - the girl asked excitedly.
“Perhaps the initial pressure was not enough to measure and I saw how you jerked your hand, calm down, everything is within the normal range,” the nurse answered.
The cuffs began to deflate again and the device began to make squeaking noises. The cuffs were completely deflated and the pressure on the device monitor was 142/98.
“Your blood pressure is high, perhaps it was from excitement,” the nurse said.
