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 |
Already tried this one. Got funky readings...https://static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/..._AS01?$mdmain$

I use to use a cheap one I bought from Wal Mart. It’s readings were almost identical to my doctors readinga.
|
Of course I can’t remember which one it was.
Might have been this one. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Omron-Bp7...e0&athena=true |
I use a wrist cuff to check mine regular,

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

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.

Need a good stethoscope makes a big difference in accuracy in doing blood pressure.

This one probably works pretty well:

+1. I take mine twice a day, pre- and post-dialysis. I use the Omrons. |
Just take the one you get to the Dr's office with you and get comparison reading between theirs and yours. 120/80 may be 110/75 on yours but as long as the readings are repeatable you/the doctor can work with it.

Like my Dad I suffer from high blood pressure and have been on medication since my late 20s. |
Shouldn't you care more about your cholesterol and tryglycerides than BP?
