We're talking about blood pressure. Does your watch measure blood pressure?
I think this might be an example of what I was talking about: you think blood pressure guidelines might not apply to you because of something your watch says.
- nomel 3y agoMy point was to give an example of situational sensitivity. My pulse is easiest/the most fun to see, because it's...on my watch. See [1]. And, they loosely don't apply, which is why I've been told to take measurements at home, before coming in, with an automated cuff. The measurements in the office are not useful.

- darkerside 3y agoYou can't point at nomel conflating blood pressure with heart rate and say, therefore nobody can consider themselves to fall outside the guidelines of traditional medical guidance. On average, men are taller than women. That doesn't mean every man is taller than every woman. If a woman is taller than a man and says she needs specific treatment because of it, she may be 100% right.
