Afraid of my blood pressure cuff My doctor thinks I have POTS, basically my heart rate increases dramatically when I stand. To get ready for my cardiologist appointment I bought a wrist BP cuff.
Lola gets so upset when I use it, her ears go back, she runs under the table, and acts abused for an hour. I need to use it a few times a day and seeing her upset upsets me, so it effects the reading.
She's afraid of loud or weird noises in general. I don't know what to do, I tell her it's ok and cuddle her afterward but it doesn't help. I can't use treats, she's not interested when she's upset.
Sometimes my family will take her in another room while I use it, but it's not always possible. |
