I am signed up for a newsletter from the Mayo Clinic and the recommended procedure for taking blood pressure is three times. The first reading is discarded as it always runs high. The next two are averaged together and that is your blood pressure reading. I had never heard of this before. Just wonder if anyone has a doctor that does this.
