In my attempts to get a reliable way to check my blood pressure at home, I& #39;m increasingly convinced that maybe medicine just...does not actually know how to check our blood pressure at all

Maybe it& #39;s not so much "[fatness] causes hypertension" so much as "medicine doesn& #39;t actually have a reliable way to measure fat people& #39;s blood pressure"
(Obviously fat people are valid whether or not we& #39;re considered "healthy", just. I am frustrated by this.)

There& #39;s like one manufacturer that claims to have made a home blood pressure testing machine that will reliably check fat people& #39;s blood pressure
But it of course costs way more than like every other home BP device

Thinking of all the medical providers who have made a big deal about switching to a larger cuff size like it& #39;s a giant burden or something
And also the ones who cut corners and do not switch the cuff size
