I have a home blood pressure monitor that I bought last week. It's an Omron, which is supposed to be pretty good I hear.
And yet, at the Dr.'s office I've recently had about 3-4 readings taken that were all significantly higher than what my Omron tells me.
I'm following the instructions closely. I rest for a few minutes, sit with my feet flat on the floor and my left arm resting on an armchair or a table, and I make sure the strap is on my arm properly according to diagrams and instructions.
So why is my blood pressure lower at home? I'm a little reluctant to blame it on faulty equipment, since Omron is a good brand, right?
