OMRON Basic 2 Electronic Blood Pressure Monitor

If you are concerned about having high blood pressure or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, using a monitor at home when you feel more relaxed may be helpful. It can give you a better picture of your blood pressure than just looking at the readings taken during a routine appointment, which may be raised due you to feeling anxious or stressed about your visit to the doctor.

Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day, so taking several readings throughout the day is a more reliable way to assess if your blood pressure is consistently high. This doesn’t mean that you need to be obsessed about checking it all the time, as this in itself may increase your blood pressure and anxiety.
