The first three times my family doctor told me to start tracking my blood pressure on a regular basis, I ignored him. The fourth time, I went to the local drug store and bought an old-fashion blood pressure monitor. I was quite comfortable being able to ignore it just like I ignored the doctor. Finally, totally exasperated with me, he suggested that I get an Omrom wireless blood pressure monitor for home use. He knows me well! He said a few other things to scare me. That coupled with a trip to the emergency room and a two-day stay in the hospital convinced me about a year ago to get serious about tracking my blood pressure.
I went home, logged into Amazon, and found the Omrom united he suggested. I didn’t read any reviews. My doctor’s recommendation was enough. I just ordered it. It was here the next day. My compliance over the past year has almost been 100%. I even amazed myself. No tubes or wires make it easy to use. It even has a blue tooth link to an app on my smartphone. It takes less than 30 seconds to use and it even tells me if I’m having heart rhythm issues.
Here’s a picture of what the Omrom blood pressure monitor looks like:
