Further to my post re BP readings, i forgot to mention readings in the morning taken before liquids,food and meds, and evening readings approx two hours after food and liquids.
@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, I have to take mine 3x day. as I'm on a medication that can lower my blood pressure and I'm not suppose to take it if it falls below 85/ 60, but I do at night since I do have a pacemaker/defibulator and if my heart drops the pacemaker will kick in if not then it will go to the defibulator. and my cardiologist is in agreement.
Only when i feel its funny
I have a wrist one personally I don't trust it, I go this center and take it there its an Omron product which is okay I figure its better than a wrist one its always a little high, but I try not dwell on it, walk, I don't take my bp like I should. But I do when I go the center where I swim, I take my pressure there. Everytime I go to hospital my pressure is so high it even scares me some, and I been through so much shit nothing fazes me anymore. Oh well that is life for you.
@Geraldine, oh my ... I only have it checked when I go to the doctor. We really should check it daily, I suppose, but I can never seem to get mine correct and it's a bit scary so I take my BP meds and leave it alone. How often do you check yours?
