Measuring your blood pressure ranks among the most important ways to assess your health status. High blood pressure puts you at risk for heart attack, stroke, can damage the brain, eyes and kidneys.
If you are a person who has high blood pressure consistently it may not be enough to have it checked intermittently at your doctor's office. Invest in a simple, inexpensive home blood pressure monitor to keep an accurate record of your blood pressure measurements. Having a home device to check your blood pressure is especially helpful when you start new medication or when you are taking several different medications and still working to reach your blood pressure goal.
You will find that using a home blood pressure device encourages you to keep taking your medications. This especially rings true when you see your blood pressure improving.
Where to get one and what kind? Drug store, Wal mart, K-Mart and many online merchants sell a variety of home blood pressure monitors. As with anything else making a choice can sometimes be a daunting task. Some health insurance will cover at least part of the cost if not all of the cost.
Tips for choosing a home blood pressure monitoring device:
- A monitor that goes around your upper arm instead of one for the wrist and finger give more precise measurements
- Be sure the cuff fits your arm. One too big or one too small will give you inaccurate measurements
- Choose an automated monitor with a cuff that inflates itself
- Choose one with a large and bright digital readout so it is easier for you to see
- Choose a monitor with the pulse rate read out
- A cord that plugs into your smartphone to transfer readings to an app that creates a graph of your progress is handy
- Some devices made by Nokia Health and iHealth can send readings wirelessly to your phone
Take your home monitor to your next medical appointment so a nurse or assistant can check to see the device is properly calibrated and that you are using it correctly.
Your doctor is the best source for advising you when and how often to take your blood pressure. It can be counterproductive to check your blood pressure too frequently. I had a friend once who started using a home blood pressure device. She treated it like a new toy. Had the device on her arm almost constantly, every little while, pumping it up checking her blood pressure. She actually became a little neurotic about her blood pressure measurements. Best thing to do is follow the advice of your personal physician for how often and when you take your blood pressure and record the measurements for each medical appointment. I would even suggest you keep the recorded readings with you along with your other medical identification information in case of out of town emergencies occur. (source: Harvard Heart Newsletters)
