    Checking Bp with tight band in the arm can cause a cardiac arrest or stroke. Probably same would have happened here.

    Shocking .He drove self to hospital and by checking he collapsed ?And doctor did nothing?Could have given cardiac massage ,or electro schock to save him oxygen was not given?Very bad.He should have gone long back to treat himself.May be it was too much for him self to drive there .Men mostly at this age with lot of responsibility tension get heart attack.He must have neglected thinking will come down ?Or any kidney ailments too have high pressure.In hot weather too many get heartattack.Heartfelt sympathies to his family.

    I heard ECG would have fixed his problem. Early detection is important. If there is any variation in heart beat. Some advanced wrist watches have these features to notify its users about heart beat anomalies

    sri-elder karkala ,they had even no time to check his BP even I suppose .He collapsed as BP checking.Even to check ECG too one has to fix electrodes on body ,takes time as much as BP check ,a bit more.Most probably already had attack on the way,and each step walking or climbing steps make it more stress to heart.Very very sad.RIP.All these modern digital watches are ok,but decide it only by doctor ,under which circumstances it was.But not as diagnose.Only as warning .

    15 years back, my doctor advised me, as a precaution to my BP, to have very good sound sleep for 7 to 8 hours, less salt, boiled veg, curry fish, raw green banana as veg, walking minimum 45 minutes , light exercise , eat at regular intervals, every 3 to 4 hours, and BIG NO to all milk products and alcohol.
