I usually take 3 readings in a row over about 2 minutes, using a battery operated auto-inflating type, not manual where you squeeze the pump thing.
I am surprised by the variance... and also that it is not getting consistently lower as I sit and settle and come to rest. Is this variance standard?
117/79
129/64
95/68
It also flagged me as arrhythmic on the first, but NSR on the 2 after that. So I assume that would be evidence of an ectopic beat on first that did not persist?

I have found with my blood pressure machine that the first sample can be all over the place and I discount it, so I take 4 readings and average of the last three. I sit upright in a chair, breath in for the count of 5 through my nose then breath out for the count of 5. This gives me more even readings.
