I am wondering if anyone uses an at home blood pressure monitor, one that you feel is pretty accurate and would recommend. Thanks for any help you can give.

    I use a wrist one, it's a Walgreen's store brand. It's fairly accurate, as I took it into my doctor's office just to have it tested. We tested it against the manual blood pressure cuff that goes around the upper arm, and with the machine. It usually registers +/-5 for the top number, and around +/-3 points for the bottom number, usually lower, compared to my dr's.

    I use one made by A&D, I have had it tested against the one in my doctors office and it was accurate.
