Hi again,

In working through the BP numbers using MAP (mean arterial pressure or Pmean), I can’t recall how significant the difference is when a brachial (arm) BP is taken versus central arterial pressure, but am thinking if compliance fluctuates in someone with EDS/POTS, the numbers might get pretty tricky to calculate (and fast sometimes), so some tracking, if tolerated, over a few weeks might be helpful?

Has anyone tried wearing a pulse/activity/sleep tracker in conjunction with checking BP a few times a day?

Found this article (in case the link doesn’t work, there is a % between “Blood” and “2”):
