Does having your blood pressure checked with a hoodie on make a difference? They checked mine with my hoodie on and it…

Yes, it affects it. Shouldn't have been done with the hoodie

Yeah, anything thick covering your arm is not good. A thin long sleeve tshirt would be okay, but not a hoodie.

Yes, you must have your arm free from clothing. It could give an inaccurate result.

@hakunamafuckitall, @jenx, @icebergahead, It was for my annual. I asked if she wanted my hoodie off and she told me no. Then told me it was a little high but not too concerning.

I have white coat syndrome. So my blood pressure sky rockets just being around white coats.

Me too. I take my blood pressure at home to keep track of it. It always elevates in a medical setting.

Yes, she should of had you take it off or roll up your sleeve
