Joseph asked:

I have major high blood pressure around 180/110 and I take 4 BP pills. I was told by my doctor to purchase a home blood pressure monitor in order to check my blood pressure 3 times per day.
What is the best recommended blood pressure on the market? I need a blood pressure really accurate.

Laurence asked:

I am back from the doctor and I was told that I need to take a blood pressure medication because my blood pressure was higher than normal during my doctor visit. My BP was 140/90 and I was told to take a pill.I normally have around 125/78 at the store but the doctor did not want to hear ANYTHING!!.
Now I don’t want to take my medication because I feel that my doctor is wrong. To prove him wrong I need to purchase the best digital home blood pressure monitor. It needs to be really accurate. Any good recommendation?

What brand/model of home blood pressure monitors has the most accurate readings & is easy to use (for elderly)?

pinky asked:

Prefer the type that has a cuff to be placed on the upper arm as opposed to the type that you wear on the wrist since the one on the arm is said to be more accurate. Thanks.

Dr. Henry Black, Immediate Past President American Society of Hypertension discusses the study and the implications.

BPAssociation asked:

Monitoring your blood pressure at home will help you to see how well your lifestyle changes and medications are lowering your blood pressure. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of heart attacks and strokes in later life. UK charity the Blood Pressure Association has a clinically validated home blood pressure monitor that gives accurate and reliable readings. For every monitor, the charity receives £5 to fund its work.
