B.P. machine cuff size for large biceps

[bigfoot]

I am concerned about getting accurate readings for blood pressure. The cuffs that come with blood pressure machines are too small. I lift weights they don't fit my biceps. Where can you find a larger cuff size as blood pressure needs to be monitored

You may want to try a medical supply place. Or, call your local hospital and ask for the purchasing department; then ask them for some company names/contact info.

I have the same problem-you do need a bigger cuff or the readings will be high.

same here. I lift weights and although I'm not huge, biceps are much bigger than they would be if I didn't lift. Anyone know how far off the blood pressure readings will be using a normal cuff?

I have the omron and Walmart has the large cuff and it's only $9.95
