Blood Pressure Question-- Dr. Q?

April 14, 2008

This isn't directly related to fertility, but I was wondering which is the most accurate: A wrist blood pressure monitor or an arm blood pressure monitor? Thanks for your help!

My mom uses the manual one, the one that the nurses use on ur arm and its dead on. Shes tried the digi ones and theres a lil descrepancy always. It takes a little while to get used to hearing the pulse using the Stethoscopes, but its pretty accurate and a lot cheaper than the digi ones.

Im testing my BP the last couple of weeks and my hubby does it after training him a couple of times.

I'm thinking of getting a digital arm one because I don't know if I could use a manual one... I never was good with understanding BP. The digital wrist BP monitors are easier to use, but I want to make sure I'm not wasting my money on a monitor that isn't accurate.
