Forum GOD!
We have had an Omrom M20 monitor for a while now. After my recent visit to the opticians and discovery of a Cataract the optician was banging on about Blood Pressure. So I thought I’d use ours to daily monitor my BP. It was giving out high readings some very high. Some gave NHS advice to contact my doctor !
So Mrs Saint took it in to work (NHS) today. She used the one there then ours and it was 15 higher on the Diastolic. So the readings we can disregard.
Since spoken to a GP who said I should get a new machine. telephone consultation. He didn’t care about me being slightly concerned about over prescribing a steroid which has Cataracts as side effect. Didn’t care that I may be worried about BP.
Anyway anyone recomend a good reliable BP monitor ? I’ve got to buy one and send in the readings and someone will look at it. Time for a new GP !!!
