The blood pressure monitor

Is a home blood pressure monitor right for you?

Many people wonder if they need to have their own blood pressure monitor at home. There are other ways of getting your blood pressure checked if you need to but if you must check it on a daily basis, it may be easier to have your own at home. However, not everyone needs to have regular blood pressure monitoring at home. If you do, your doctor will tell you. Here are some cases when you may need to have a home blood pressure monitor:

• If you have very elevated or high blood pressure
• If you might have hormone producing tumors
• If you have whitecoat hypertension

In these cases as well as the case of anyone that just wants to feel informed about their blood pressure, it is ok to get a blood pressure reading using a home blood pressure monitor. The important thing to understand is that these results are not always 100% accurate and should be verified by your physician.

You need to use a blood pressure monitor that is FDA approved, automatic, researched and subjected to clinical trials and correctly calibrated. This is not generally available to the ordinary public. However, occasional home monitoring is still possible with over the counter type devices as long as you have it verified from a professional on a regular basis as well.

If you have one of the conditions or situations listed above and your doctor feels you need regular home monitoring, they will see to it that you get the proper equipment and training to operate it and monitor your own blood pressure. This is typically covered by most insurance agencies.
