Blood Pressure Cuff?
Wife needs to start checking her blood pressure on the regular. Looking for a monitor, but have no idea what kinds are any kind of good. Amazon, as good as the ratings are, virtually every one of them have reviews that say its junk and its the greatest thing ever.

Anybody have any insight?

TIA

Of course I can’t remember which one it was.

Might have been this one.

We used one when the wife was pregnant with our daughter. I thought, hey I’ll check mine. ****. It’s high. Cool. I’ll just chill for a minute and try again. Still high. Shit. Maybe it’s a tough day. I monitored it for 3 weeks. Made the log, 3 times a day. Different times, you know, eliminating variables. Always high. So I made an appointment with my doc for blood pressure. Got it checked st the clinic and it was great.

I sure felt like an idiot and it was an expensive lesson that those aren’t accurate.

My work we use BP machines but they suck and sometimes we have to do manually but I hate doing those because background noise or patient moves around or hard to hear the beat.

Stay away from the wrist cuffs. There is a reason they are not used by professionals.

The Omron line are the most reliable of the in-home cuffs.

I take mine twice a day, pre- and post-dialysis. I use the Omrons.

OK. I’m the village idiot apparently.

I bought this one thanks to the recs in this thread. (Much appreciated BTW one of the things that makes this place great)

This thing reads super high on me. This fall I had some trouble getting dizzy if I was bent over working on stuff so after harvest I started monitoring my BP thinking that might be the problem. This thing was reading super high so I figured that’s what it was. Made some diet changes, exercised more and slept more. Haven’t been dizzy while I’ve bent over, but this thing still reads high.

Had a doctors appointment so I brought it in.

Manual read 132/74

This thing read 141/96

It’s reassuring that I’m not going to pop, but I’m wondering if I can make the thing work. I’m always sitting. I position the inflator where it needs to be. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

FWIW it reads the wife normally.

Any advice?

I have one and have noticed that readings are affected by many variables. If I walk over and sit down my readings will be 10 points higher than sitting for 10 minutes or so first. So I keep it by the computer and use it after a bit of time on the computer. I have been on BP meds for years and watch mine closely.
PS try not pre wrapping it so tightly and see how that effects the reading. If you have big wrists it's easy to over tighten.
PSS the main thing is that your using it ! Good on you mate.
PSSS I just noticed that mine (a walgreens model) has a specific wrist circumference range 13.5 cm - 19.5 cm, could it be you're too big? You stud!

The wrist cuffs ALWAYS read high. Whenever either doctor's office pulls one out and it tests me high, I have them retake it with the arm cuff.

I would never buy a wrist cuff.

yeah, the omron one I bought at BRCs recommendation (at the link) is an arm cuff.

And the test I did at the doctors office was right after the tech took mine manually.
