Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! You are right my lady, when you say digital BP measuring machines are sometimes incorrect (they may lack appropriate calibration, or their battery may be almost expired and the machine doesn't properly work). I would not recommend digital machines, they are comfortable for solitary people, but they lack accuracy. Instead, i advice a simple sphygmomanometer device. Only after using a correct measuring device, one can be sure in judging the presence of high BP. Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings!
