BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
✱ There are lots of blood pressure monitors available, and deciding which to buy is tricky. When patients ask me, I generally recommend choosing one that measures blood pressure in the upper arm, not your wrist or finger, and is approved for use in the UK. It’s also important to ensure the cuff is the right size for you – it should wrap snugly around the upper arm, with just enough space to slide two fingertips underneath. Have a look at the British.
