I have high blood pressure and
I also have large arms. Even at my doctors office, the nurse has a hard time getting a good reading unless she
changes to a larger cuff. This large arm situation sometimes results in readings that vary and are not as accurate
as I need.I want my doctor to base my medication
strength on a correct pressure reading.
My solution for home use was a
wrist blood pressure monitor. MyOmron HEM 650 works great and also was able to detect any heart arrhythmias that may be
occurring. I was diagnosed withAtrial Fibrillation and this feature of my Omron
home blood pressure monitor allows me to determine if my heart rhythm is correct.
These small
wrist monitors have become more popular as they are easy to handle, accurate and require no training to operate.
Omron has a full line of quality wrist blood pressure monitors. These monitors are quickly becoming the monitors of
choice for their ease of use and simple push button operation, no bulbs to pump or arm cuffs that slip to struggle
with. A one size fits all wrist cuff is fast and simple.
