Thanks for these replies. Will look at weight reduction down to a recommended level and see what this does in combination with getting it checked properly but what I have seen (and my wife is a nurse !) was not absolutely sure all the medical profession do it correctly with Calibrated Instruments...(Can I say this??)...especially these electronic devices.
Cheers for the comments re Weight loss vs BP reduction. Guess this is based on a large sample of people. See what it does for me.
Hope some of the points raised provide some "food for thought" in terms of the original thread if you pardon the pun......
