Can you check your blood pressure while walking?

I have not tried to do this although I don't see why you couldn't. It is not meant as a continuous monitor as you would find on a treadmill, though.

I haven't tried that It fits tight on the arm so I think it would work, just keep arm bent

The unit has irregular heart beat detection and if it is detected more than twice during measurement of blood pressure, a symbol for irregular heart beat will display. However, arrhythima should only be dianosed by doctors with ECG. This unit should only be used to monitor your blood pressure. I go to my doctor every 3 months to get ECG and blood pressure checked, but I bring the charts printed from my computer with reads from this unit as a guide for my doctor so he can see my daily averages to adjust my medication accordingly.

It lets me know what bpm after I have finished walking.I just bought another phone and I didn't realize it checks your heart rate, so I haven't been using it lately. I hope this answers your question.

I have found the machine is accurate but sometimes blood pressure fluctuates.I have another machine I test this unit in question.

It does come with a cuff small enough to check her blood pressure. However, I have not tried to check the blood pressure on a child that small with the machine. I do know that at times we have difficulty checking blood pressures on babies with much more costly, dedicated pediatric manometers. If her blood pressure needs to be monitored, I'd recommend that you take the monitor with you to her doctor's office to see if it gets readings comparable to their monitor.

If your old machine is an Omron, it probably is still accurate. That's an excellent brand. One way you can check your machine is to go to a local grocery store (or drug store) that has a blood pressure machine next to the pharmacy. They are verified to be accurate. Take your pressure using your machine in your car in the grocery store parking lot. Sit in your car a couple of minutes, then stroll into the store and take your pressure there. They should be relatively close in numbers.

I so not think any home monitor can accurately read your blood pressure. I have taken my monitor with me to the doctor's office on several occasions. It can read anywhere from 10 to 20 points higher than what the doctor's machine reads. To quote her "use it as a guide, not as a fact". So, that's what I do.

There is a small weighted device inside. It moves easily back and forth when you are walking. This generates a signal that you are taking steps. If that is not it, it may have a loose screw or something and may have to be replaced.

It counts your steps whether your walking on a treadmill or on ground and whether your walking or running. As long as your moving it accurately counts your steps.

I presume it can be, as it measures BP with the usual arm cuff. However, if this is crucial to your selection, clearly you need to speak with your cardiologist.

Only if u are setting it to keep track. You would have to also periodically check your pulse for a reading. This is strictly used for when you are exercising

Yes, it does read systolic, diastolic, pulse, and your pressure rating. It detects irregular heartbeat, too.

Dear Jamell: If you are just interested in walking you might want to buy the one less professional GPS watch. This one does run/bicycle/swim settings. You can, however, definitely use it for walking. It shows your pace, your distance, the duration, your heart rate, your average speed. I really like it!

Don't see why not, it calcs distance by GPS not steps, and heart rate works either walking or running

You do indeed. You have to have a stethoscope to hear the blood flow. When you hear it and then don't hear it gives you the systolic and diastolic. If you practice you can do it yourself but generally you have someone else take your bp.

Bring the monitor to a CVS pharmacy. They have a BP machine there. Take your pressure and write it down. Wait 15 minutes and take it on your BP machine and see if the readings are similar or on your next visit to physician, check your machine against doctor's. After reading previous comments, you might need a new cuff.
