blood pressure
sjrg897t2qg4w9
I went to the doctor today for a check up. The nurse took my blood pressure
with an automatic digital monitor that had it's own wheels and stand. She
said my pressure was good (124/80 I'm a 44 y/o male). A few minutes later
the doctor came in and when she found out my parents had hypertension she
decided I must have it too. She took my blood pressure again with the using
the old fashioned wall mounted monitor that had a dial and a hand pump bulb.
She got the results she wanted: 142/90. Then she called in the nurse to take
my blood pressure again, and then she tried my other arm and I had my blood
pressure taken four or five times. Now I have to come back for another check
up and maybe start on blood pressure medicine. Wouldn't the digital machine
be more reliable? It looked more expensive.
Do you think I should go back to that doctor? Is this a scam to rip off my
insurance provider?
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive home blood pressure monitor that is also
reliable?
I had one of the automatic digital one's that wrap around the wrist. It was
easy to use. Are those reliable? (I was able to excavate it from under the
detritus of the centuries that accumulated in my closet but the lcd display
seems to have perished with the ravages of time. The machine knows my blood
pressure but can't tell me which I prefer to the doctor who doesn't know my
blood pressure but can.)
Thanks,
Nel
The best monitor for BP is an Omron. You can get all kinds at the drug
store..My cardiologist told me to get the digital. When I go to see him, I
take it with me and check it with he's and it's about the same..
I have a problem with the readings at different Drs. My Rheumy checked me
at 120 over 55 Tuesday, and yesterday I went to the Dentist,(root canal
discussion)UGH!!! and it jumped up to 210 over 79..when I got home I checked
mine and it was 182 over 78, 2 hours later it was 157 over 68, then after 4
hours it had come down to 122 over 59...
I do take meds for it too..
Take care and keep it checked...Nel
