This description actually kind of makes sense. What could help (or could have no effect) is taking the blood pressure with the electronic device. There nobody could be next to you (entrap you) and you would have a complete control over the strap - you could take it off any time you felt uncomfortable if you just wanted to. I have an electronic meter at home and I use it time to time to check my pressure. I can be much more relaxed and I indeed usually lay down first.
