40 to 60 mm higher than the actual pressure. Don't know about pain as an elevator but being cold, not having arm supported at level of heart, crossed legs, having a full bladder, and, of course, worrying about having high blood pressure, will tend to raise it. (Not a physician but Google can be useful if you stick to credible sites like Mayo or Cleveland (CT Scan tech told me everything on WebMD is cancer - I don't think he was joking)).
