They are both silent killers when not monitored. One is no more important to monitor than the other. Everyone needs a full blood panel every 2-3 years Too.

I use Omron with an arm band, compared it to my Dr's readings 3 or 4 times and always spot on.

Don’t forget to monitor your testosterone level.

Every 2-3 years? Since I turned 40 I do full panel once a year. Wouldn’t be against twice a year when I get older.

I have a ReliOn BP monitor. It's Walmart's brand that's made by Omron. I've had it for years and had it checked a couple of times at the Dr's office and it's spot on. You just have to be sure the cuff is oriented properly to get an accurate reading. Easy to do.
BP is a tricky thing to check. Everyone's BP will fluctuate significantly throughout the day. To get a good baseline, check your BP when you get up in the morning before you do any physical exertion. |

I have a Nokia wireless one that connects to a health app. I also have the smart scale and activity tracker (fitbit) synced to the app to get a whole health dashboard.

After wifes heart surgery her Cardiologist got her the Omron cuff gizmo. They did the high tech check with the office machine and would cross check with the cuff. it was very consistent and it will give a relatively accurate result...as the Cardiologist said, that is the real issue...relativity and consistency. I have one I keep in the pickup as well.

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? |

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!
