Suggest treatment to control blood pressure
Patient: check Hi I am 62 year young lady and now I have high blood pressure,My daughter gave me anpron machine to check my pressure,but now I am nervous as my pressure keeps fluctuating.My daughter is a Doctor and now I am nervous.I am currently in care with my own Doctor ,but as I read thede didital machines are not that accurrate.Please advise. Doctor: Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! You are right my lady, when you say digital BP measuring machines are sometimes incorrect ( they may lack appropriate calibration, or their battery may be almost expired and the machine doesn't properly work). I would not recommend digital machines, they are comfortable for solitary people, but they lack accuracy. Instead i advice a simple sphygmomanometer device. Only after using a correct measuring device, one can be sure in judging the presence of high BP.Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
