Hmm, I checked mine with a long sleeve flannel on. Last week I got a 142/82 and then a 136/?. The reading before I got there was high from the last person. And I again had a shirt on and my arm doesn't really fit well in the cuff in those things as it is. I think it's still elevated though. Sometimes I hear ringing.
