The pharmacies claim they're accurate and I think they are most times.
I keep a watch on it at several different places (Kmart, Walmart,
RiteAid, etc), just plunk down and check it now and then when I'm in a
store that has one, plus I have my own monitor. As long as I don't get
a reading that's way out of whack, I feel pretty comfortable with
that.

>If so what
>monitor should I get to make sure I get accurate readings?

I've tried the manual kind but I've just never gotten the hang of 'em.
An automatic machine with a digital read out sure is quick and simple
and it seems to be accurate. Mine is an old one, an Omron
Intelli-sense. I'll buy another one like it when this one conks out.

At my last visit to my cardiologist my blood pressure was 140/98 and
136/100. It is the first time that I have had high blood pressure.
The doctor asked me to keep a log of my blood pressure for 3 months.
I need to either get a monitor of my own or just go to the local
pharmacy and use their machine. Are the monitors at pharmacys
accurate enough or do I need to get my own monitor? If so what
monitor should I get to make sure I get accurate readings?
