I am taking blood pressure medication for the first time; I have been monitoring my blood pressure daily using a home BP cuff.

How can I get a free blood pressure monitor?

sksjt asked:


I just recently found out I have high bp and I can not afford to get a bp monitor, I also haven’t went to the dr. yet due to no insurance. I work at a nursing home and that is where I had it checked 2 days in a row and it was high. I need a monitor so I can check it at home on my days off.

What does mmHg mean in taking blood pressure and what type of measurement of speed do they use to find out BP.

Adam G asked:


I’m doing a science fair project and I don’t know what mmHg means on the blood pressure monitor. I also don’t know how they know how fast it’s going. Do they use some sort of measurement of speed or something? If someone can tell me the answers to those questions then I’ll be hoping for an A+

How long does it take to reduce your blood pressure numbers from high to normal?

arcticnyx asked:


I had high blood pressure about a year ago but managed to lose 50 pounds and lower my bp. I just moved and got out of the habit of my normal exercise routine. I went to the dr. this morning and my bp was 154/107. (yes, very high, I know) My doc wants me back in 2 weeks for another bp test. If I get back into a regular routine of walking 5 days a week again, can I drop my numbers in a couple weeks?
