Title: Blood Pressure Monitor
Post by mia0621 on Dec 16^th, 2012, 5:29am

Hello RLR,

My PVC's are back. They seem to be either stess induced, caused by excessive gas, or both. Anyway, I tried to get a blood pressure reading this morning and got an error message. Can pvc's distort a reading on a digital monitor? It was an EE message usually associated with improper cuff size or placement, or movement during the test. I know my doctor says these pvc's are benign, but I also read that over the years there can be an increased risk or cardiac arrest. What is your take on this?
