Home Blood Pressure Monitoring

If you have a BP monitor at home, you can tell us your results, which helps us to see if your treatment is working well for you. It is common to find that BP readings taken at home are lower than BP readings taken in places like hospitals or GP practices.

There are many BP monitors to buy online, or in supermarkets or pharmacies. They are usually around £20. There is no need to purchase more expensive models but do ensure that your machine is accredited by the British Hypertension Society. Examples of good BP monitors include:

  • Omron M2 Basic Upper Arm BP Monitor. Around £25
  • Boots Upper Arm BP Monitor. Around £19.99.
  • A and D UA-611 Upper Arm BP Monitor. Around £19.99.

If you have an irregular heartbeat, the home monitors might not work very well. Instead, you would need to have your blood pressure checked by a healthcare professional.

Please ensure you have the correct sized cuff. If the cuff is too small the machine will give a reading that is higher than it should be.
