SOURCE: Home BP monitor won't work on fat arm

Hi there. First of all relax and don't worry about using that home monitor. It is designed by the same person who designed the tourist class airplane seats.........lol.......one size does not fit all.

that said, any reputable doctors office or druggist will take your bp for free. just for the asking. good luck.

My blood pressure is 116/66 I am 63 and I am on blood pressure medication Micardis plus 80 I am due to take my medication tonight

Your bp is absolutely great ..The fact that you are on BP med is fine, even days when it's normal and your taking BP meds it's fine ..But perhaps check in regular for a month on BP and take measurements and notes if it' still between 100/ 60 - 139/89 check in with the doctor he or she might be able to wean you off then wouldn't that be great:)
GOOD LUCK????

What is dangerush bp reading

You need to get another DR. If you are on 4 meds and still having issues there is something your DR is not doing. Also Fish oil is great for lowering BP. Good luck. If your BP stays in such a High reading maybe head to the ER.Its nothing to play with.

I am a 59yr old women what should my bp weight cholestrol be. i am taking meds for it

Blood pressure knows no age, any BP reading that is over 140/90 is high blood pressure, total cholesterol should be under 150 and bad cholesterol should be under the 100 mark. I am a heart Bypass survivor little about these things. I you are over the above please readings contact a doctor asap.

I just started on a medicine for high blood pressure,Lisinopril. The warnings are not to take a salt substitute while on it, potasium being the concern. I am just getting over a sinus infection and usually...

I checked with my own Dr, I am a nurse on the payroll, he told me that you should be fine..... There are no reasons to take the med as well as the Airbourne, it is for a short time. If you have a blood pressure cuff, continue to take the meds and check the BP and make sure that you are in line, but if you dont, it would be recommended to get one anyway as you are now on a beta blocker for the BP. Be well and stay healthy, doing great!!! Guy
