One of the main advantages of aneroid monitors is certainly its low price. Their prices usually range from 20$ to 40$. Another advantage is that they have stethoscope already built-in, therefore you do not need to buy one separately. Most devices are designed so that they can be easily put on with one hand and they are easy to carry around from place to place. However, this device is fairly complicated and could get broken or less accurate if not handled properly. If the person that will be using it has hearing problems, you should get the digital monitor instead. With aneroid monitor you need to be able to hear your heartbeat by using the stethoscope. Digital monitors work automatically and they are more popular choice for home users. You can simply read your blood pressure from the screen. Some models can even print out your blood pressure levels. If the person that will be using the device has bad sight, make sure you choose a model with bigger screen and larger numbers. Depending on the model, inflation of the cuffs can be either automatic or manual. Main disadvantage of digital monitors is their high price compared to aneroid ones. The price ranges from 30$ to more than 100$. Another disadvantage is their accuracy, which can vary depending on your heart rate and changes in body movement. They also require batteries to function.
Where to buy the device
If you are already taking blood pressure medicine, you can most likely buy the device at the pharmacy where you get your medications. There are also several on-line stores that sell the devices. You can choose from various models in various price ranges. If you’re already buying items online, try searching your preferred store for blood pressure monitors, as they will probably have one. After you buy a device, you should take it to your doctor’s office so it can be checked for accuracy. You can also ask your doctor to show you how to properly use the device.
