Question by Roland:
I wonder if the blood pressure monitor in grocery store are correct?
I just got a new property blood pressure monitor named Omron HM780, supposedly accurate. Now when I go to the store my readings are between 130/85 to 148/95 and when I get home my readings are amongst 115/70 to 132/85 WHAT Should I TRUST?

Blood pressures taken by a cuff are not as acurate as these taken manually by a medical proffessional or these taken invasively (straight from your arteries – they only do this for you in hospital in significant instances – such accuracy is not essential otherwise).
Your blood pressure could be fluctuating this considerably anyway, its hard to inform without having a vast quantity of readings. also the way you apply the cuff can influence the readings, if there are any kinks in it or if your arm is bent it cant have an effect on the reading, this is why a quantity of readings show more accuracy than just one.

You need to make sure you always use the same arm to get constant data. I have an 8 point distinction amongst my left and proper arms.
If you are at the store are you undertaking a lot of walking prior to obtaining your reading? You ought to sit for a handful of minutes first, and then get a reading.
You can generally go to your neighborhood firehouse and get a completely free reading from them if they aren’t out on a call.
