Trouble Getting a Blood Pressure Reading

My question is regarding high blood pressure problems and people who cannot get any readings at all. This also happens to me sometimes and I was wondering if anxiety and panic attacks would cause this?

Do you fidget or talk during your BP test? My husband has a home BP monitor, and it has problems getting a reading when he fidgets or talks when the machine is trying to get a reading.

You should ask your doctor. Don't take internet advice on the internet about your medical health.

For about a year I've been having trouble getting a blood pressure reading. Whether it's in a doctor's office, at home, or those machines in public places.
