What are the benefits of monitoring your blood pressure at home ? 

Monitoring your blood pressure at home can: 

• It helps with early diagnosis. Self-monitoring can help your doctor diagnose high blood pressure earlier than if you monitor your blood pressure rarely. Home monitoring is highly crucial if you suffers from hypertension or another condition that could contribute to high blood pressure, such as diabetes or kidney problems.
• It helps to track your treatment. The only way to know whether your lifestyle changes or medications are working is to check your blood pressure regularly. Monitoring blood pressure changes at home can help you and your doctor make decisions about your treatment, such as adjusting dosages or changing medications or changing your lifestyle.
• It will encourage you to be in control of your lifestyle. Self-monitoring can give you a stronger sense of responsibility for your health. You may feel even more motivated to control your blood pressure with an improved diet, physical activity and proper medication use.
• It saves time and money. Self-monitoring might decrease your number of visits to your doctor or clinic or the pharmacy.
• Check if your blood pressure differs outside the doctor’s office. Some people experience raise in blood pressure due to anxiety associated with seeing a doctor (white coat hypertension). Other people have normal blood pressure at a clinic but elevated pressure elsewhere (masked hypertension). Monitoring blood pressure at home can help determine if you have true high blood pressure.

What are the types of home monitors ?

• Inflatable cuff. The cuff’s inner layer fills with air and squeezes your arm. The cuff’s outer layer has a fastener to hold the cuff in place. Heart rate and blood flow are automatically calculated by measuring the changes in the motion of your artery as the blood flows through while the cuff deflates.
• Gauge for readouts. Some blood pressure monitors can take multiple readings and report the averages.
