  please do not come in to any emergency department anywhere wearing this device (or any other BP device for that matter) pushing the button every 5 minutes, freaking out to the triage nurse saying that your blood pressure is going up and needs to be treated immediately…

  you may laugh - but they live among us!

  (if anyone is wondering what the cure for for this critical condition is…. a swift blow with a hammer!!! - to the blood pressure machine that is)

    So, erm, doktor, do you meant that these devices are a waste of time? ANd here I was thinking I could just buy this or an Omron and self-monitor… :-(

    I don't know, but the only thing I can think of that would trigger panic is if one of the readings were above the normal limits. i.e. pre-hypertension.

    The person would panic because their readings are quite high, meaning there is a problem, but yeah, it doesn't need to be treated immediately. Nevertheless, there usually still is an underlying problem that needs to be managed.

    If a person has a family history of high blood pressure, the patient would rightly be fearful of their first signs. Enough to drive some insane. ;-(

    People with common sense can (and do, and when necessary, should) use these to self-monitor. Or would you rather have them call the ambos whenever they feel a hot flush and/or headache?

    In Europe (certainly in Eastern Europe) these devices are so common, almost every household has at least one and GPs regularly ask patients with (pre-)hyper/hypotension to keep their own diary. It helps GPs immensely to have a proper history, just take the device to your GP once to check the accuracy.

    Those who push the button every 5 minutes are hopefully on a mental health care plan, whether it's due to GAD or hypochondria.

    Regarding this offer, I usually recommend Omron, but these might be good to, hopefully someone here has some experience with this brand.

  My cousin buys locally and claims back on health insurance… 100% back on most cover. Up to $150 usually.
  Takes around 3-5 years to replenish the amount, so you can claim again, but the device should have quite a long lifespan.

  Price gone back to $50 and no longer ships overseas. Amazon like to do this when stock levels get low.
