This particular model also comes with a second person option. This was helpful for me because sometimes I would forgoet to record ythe blood pressure results the previous time (sort of like my lack of BG logging). There are arrows that also allow you to backtrack and take a look at your previous testing results. The monitor takes 3 separate readings in order to provide the most accurate results.Īfter the 3rd reading, the monitor display will show you the SYS / DIA (mmHg) as well as your Pulse/min. Once it releases, the screen shows a countdown for 60 seconds which is when the next reading is going to begin. This process lasts for approximately 30-60 seconds. Once the monitor is plugged in (also can use 4 AA batteries) and turned on the arm cuff will begin to tighten on you. The arm piece connects to the actual monitor itself on the side. Setting the monitor up was also pretty easy. It basically came with two main parts, the monitor and the arm band sensor. The set up of the blood pressure monitor was pretty easy to do with the instructions included. The exact model of the monitor is the Omron BP786 Blood Pressure Monitor So, with that back story, I can now get to the review of the product, because it really did help me a lot because without it, I probably wouldn’t have cheked my blood presure anywhere else or called a doctor, I would have just waited until the next appointment. Started on Lisinopril, but have since changed to Lossarten. Well, by the end of the day, I was started on blood pressure medication. She told me to check it again in a couple of hours and if it didn’t come down then she wanted me to come in to the office. Whoa.įirst thing I did was email my doctor (yes, email because she responds back pretty quickly). So, the next day I said, “Oh yea, I have a blood pressure monitor, let’s check the blood pressure” and bam, there was my problem. I felt like my heart was racing and pumping a lot hearder than what it normally is and something just felt off. The night before, I was laying in bed, and I just felt off. The day that I finally decided to open it, was out of necessity than anything else. Like many of the products that I have been sent, it took me a while to get to (I am doing a weekly product review now, so time has freed up a bit). About 6 months ago, I received an email about doing a review of an Omron Blood Pressure monitor, and I agreed to use the product and write a review on it.
