Blood Pressure
Monitors
Why should I use a blood
blood pressure monitor at home and keep a record of it?
Measuring your blood pressure
at home and keeping a record of the measurements will show you
and your doctor how much your blood pressure changes during
the day. Your doctor can use the measurements to see how well
your medicine is working to control your high blood pressure.
Also, measuring your own blood pressure is a good way to take
part in managing your health.

What equipment do I need to measure my blood pressure?
To measure your blood pressure at home, you can use either an
aneroid monitor or a digital
blood pressure monitor.
The aneroid monitor has a dial gauge that is read by looking
at a pointer. The cuff is inflated by hand, by squeezing a
rubber bulb. Digital monitors have either manual or automatic
cuffs. The blood pressure reading flashes on a small screen.
Choose the type of monitor that best suits your needs.
