Lately i’ve been having these “episodes”.I call them episodes b/c the symptoms are intermittent,not constant.It will all start with migraine symptoms;the awful headache,my temples throbbing,sensitivity to light,etc.Usually when i get a migraine(which i’ve been suffering from for 13 years)i will get an accelerated heart rate,but nothing like this.After the “migraine” starts my heart starts pounding so fast that i can hardly catch my breath.My pulse is racing and i definitely feel like i’m having a heart attack or will simply die at any second.My husband became worried so he bought a digital blood pressure monitor.The thing is,I just took a pressure reading and it was normal,but i wasn’t going through an “episode”,i feel weak,but my heart rate is normal.What could this be? Can blood pressure fluctuate up and down like that or could it be something more serious? Please help until i can get an appt. to see my dr.

Being diagnosed with high blood pressure does not mean having to change every aspect of your life. It means having to watch your diet, to exercise regularly and to take prescribed medications. It also means having to monitor your blood pressure, either daily or weekly, or however often your doctor requires you to do so.

Taking your own blood pressure is not a difficult endeavor, and with a little practice, you can become as adept as a nurse at reading and monitoring your own blood pressure. There are many different kinds of blood pressure monitors available these days, and many of them work with the simple push of a button. Determining which kind you feel comfortable with and also which one is most affordable determines a little research and knowledge of a few basics.

Digital Versus Analog

First, you must decide whether you want a digital blood pressure monitor or an old fashioned analog style. Both work equally well, though the digital models on the market today are fast, easy and user friendly. If you are familiar with the older models, which are still used in many doctor’s offices today, you will understand the difference between the two. With a digital model, all you have to do is wrap the cuff around your wrist or upper arm and push the button.

The machine will automatically inflate the cuff and display a systolic and diastolic blood pressure reading within a minute or less. With an old-fashioned cuff, you will need to wrap the cuff around your upper arm and then with the use of a stethoscope, inflate the rubber ball, pump the cuff to the appropriate pressure and then release a little knob on the rubber ball that will allow the cuff to deflate. This method requires that the user have good hearing, so keep that in mind when shopping.

Seniors

For most seniors, a digital blood pressure monitor is fast, simple and easy. Often, digital monitors will have enlarged numbers for display, making it easy for those with poor eyesight to read the numbers. Not having to listen for heart sounds with the use of a stethoscope makes this model favored among older people.

In addition, many people suffering from arthritis or weak fingers and joints have difficulties pumping up the rubber ball that inflates an old fashioned cuff, something that is not necessary with an electronic digital blood pressure monitor. Keep in mind however, that a digital monitor is more expensive than the older, analog cuff method, but provides conveniences that more than outweigh the increase in cost.

Also, there are several other types of blood pressure monitors available for those diagnosed with high blood pressure, and your doctor may suggest one over the other for various reasons. When speaking with your doctor about blood pressure monitors, ask his or her opinion about which will work best for your condition, abilities and needs.

Most blood pressure monitors are covered by health insurance plans, but ask both your doctor and your insurance company before you buy. In some cases, your physician may have to write a prescription for one in order for it to be covered.

High blood pressure and low blood pressure have become the common ailments in this modern era of cut throat competition in our materialistic civilization. You have moved away from the nature in every aspect of your life. You are living in a polluted environment, depending mainly upon junk food items for nutrition; you are always in a hurry to compete your office work early; you sit before the glaring light of the TV set to hear the most disturbing news stories of the day; you are worried about the dwindling savings and the approaching retirement; the cost involved in providing higher education to your children is mind boggling ? with such threats around you, who else, apart form you, would be an eligible candidate for problems related to blood pressure?

There are several types of instruments that can help you to keep a track of your blood pressure. Some of these are:

1. Diagnostic set blood pressure monitor, generally provided with one set of spare earpiece and a diaphragm

2. Sphygmomanometer Blood Pressure Monitor

3. Diagnostic Instrument

4. E.N.T’s Set

5. Otoscope (Aeroscope)

6. Heine Kappa Diagnostic Set

7. Manual Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

8. Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

9. Halogen Diagnostic Set

10. Smart Speed Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Automatic Inflation

Instruments like diagnostic set blood pressure monitors are very useful to those patients, who have dangerous blood pressure levels. In many cases, monitoring might be required daily, sometimes, several times in a day. You can’t run to your family doctor, which in itself, is a time-consuming and stressful activity, every time for a check up. It is a psychological relief when you know how to check your blood pressure yourself. By doing so, you actually see for yourself the way your blood pressure is progressing. Or you can give correct information to your family doctor over the phone, without bothering about going to his/her dispensary.

My uncle brought the digital blood pressure monitor to my grams place and tested everyone.

My sister’s blood pressure came to 112 (Systolic) and 51 (Diastolic). Based on the table given on the machine, it said the normal range for diastolic would be AT LEAST 60. My uncle said she lacked blood. But when we tested her again, it said 42 (Diastolic). We tested it 4 times more to confirm it but it kept saying ERROR.

Anyone knows what this means?
