For some reason, I have a very clear memory of watching the first blood pressure commercial at about 10 years old (early 60s). It was some lady saying that her husband had died because of this 'silent killer' and she urged everyone to go to the doctor have their blood pressure checked. A few years later the rage was high cholesterol. These things exist, but I think they were always intended to suck people into the medical-industrial complex and trap them there. My evidence is that over the years they've repeatedly lowered the 'normal' ranges of these things. A nurse told me the other day that a blood pressure over 120/something is now considered high. I transcribed medical reports for 18 years and during that time they lowered it from 140 to 120. On top of that, the digital monitors consistently register 30 to 40 points higher than a manual cuff, and some doctors/nurses have returned to using a manual cuff. The medical-industrial complex appears to be more about control and profit than it is about health. Since 1994 I've only seen doctors for two things: Appendicitis and a finger tuft fracture. I'm in my 60s and extremely healthy, and I intend to stay that way, which is why I avoid doctors like the plague.
It was a nurse on here who told me that and I don't remember who. However, the digital monitors explain why the last 3 times my blood pressure has been read (2015 in emergency room for a finger tuft fracture, 2018 in optometrist office and this year in the dentist's office) it's been inordinately high and I have not one symptom. And what's the deal all of a sudden with optometrists and dental offices taking one's blood pressure? Until this year I went 60 years without a single blood pressure reading in a dental office. I think it's because any idiot can use the digital monitors, and from here on out I'm telling them not to do it because it gives false readings.
