What kind of blood pressure monitor do you need?

You can choose from professional to simple one. The mid to high range digital blood pressure monitors need to be tested for accuracy and reliability. Some manual monitors can lose their accuracy over time.

Also make sure that the blood pressure cuff fits your arm pefectly. If it’s too tight – the monitor will give a reading that is higher than the true reading.

TIP – before you measure your blood pressure, you need to have rested five minutes. Only then you can start checking the blood pressure.

When measuring the blood pressure line up the arrow on the cuff with the pulse at the crease in front of your elbow.

Another type of the monitor is the upper arm digital blood pressure monitor. The cuff goes around the upper part of your arm with the arrow to the front over the artery pulse at the front of your elbow crease.

One more type of the monitors – wrist or finger digital blood pressure monitors. They are considered to be less reliable than the upper arm monitoris, because the readings can be sensitive to movement or to changes in body temperature.
