Q: What brand or type of blood pressure monitor do you recommend for at home use?
A: For a site that reviews blood pressure monitors click here. You should choose a blood pressure monitor that has a good manufacturer and meets your needs. Personally, I have an ancient Omron unit that has been so reliable it hasn’t needed replacement.
Great idea but who can afford these days to spend $400.00 dollars. exspecially when 60% of us dont have insurance. A answer to that would be great
I use a HOMEDICS blood pressure monitor, is this one a good one?
I totally agree with Patty – the price is outrageous. Considering high blood pressure to be among one of the top diagnosis today, is the manufacturer’s objective to help us or to make an enormous proift based on their research about high blood pressure. Buying direct should be within an affordable range. Considering the economic situation in the US today $400.00 is not withing an affordable range.
Again, is the manufacturer out to help us or make a killing on people with high blood pressure,which is known as the Silent Killer
For £15 or about $20 you can purchase a B.P. monitor from the internet called OMRON M2 basic auto B P monitor. They are heavily discounted by many suppliers and should be aaround 2 to 3 times the price.
Think of it this way: if you stroke out from high blood pressure, your family
is going to spend WAY more than $400 to take care of you in a nursing home.
The cost of this device and the time it takes to use it will seem trivial in retrospect.
That said, you can practice slow breathing and meditation without using this device.
All you need is self-discipline.
and if i can get it free or at a better cost please tell me
I have the Omron (Women’s Advanced Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Two Cuffs) Model Elte 7300w i took it into my Doctors office and he used it on me and then used the one in his office on me and told me my Blood Pressure Monitor was an excellent one i’ve had it for 5 years i got it on sale at RiteAid it retailed for $100.00 but i got it for $60.00 because someone miss mark it so the manager gave it to me for $60.00 i’m glad i made the investment.
I purchased the Omron Series 3 at Walmart last week for $39.00. The most
expensive Omron on the shelf was $79.00. Mine is giving me readings
similar to the doctor’s office. I can’t imagine one for $400.00. Look on the
internet, and you can see where they are on sale in your local area. Hope
this helps.
I got one from walgreens for $40.00. I way I see it, it is my health that is on the line. I have to do what is right for my family.
