Blood pressure monitors for home use
Keeping a regular check on your blood pressure and heart rate can provide early warnings of potential health issues.
Untreated hypertension can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or kidney damage., and because high blood pressure usually shows no symptoms – the only way to know if you are at risk, is to check your numbers by using a blood pressure monitor.
Checking your blood pressure at home is also an important part of managing high blood pressure. It will help you to check that your medication is working, and alert you and your doctor to potential health complications.
Self-monitoring can help your doctor diagnose high blood pressure earlier than if you have only occasional blood pressure readings in a medical office. Not everyone can track blood pressure at home. If you have an irregular heartbeat, home blood pressure monitors might not give you an accurate reading.
Having a properly fitting cuff is the most important factor to consider because poorly fitting cuffs will not give accurate blood pressure measurements. Ask your doctor or nurse what cuff size you need.
