The home units are quite accurate like you say. My only concern is when office reading high doc may pile on RX. I have done meditation and lowered mine significantly. Good luck with navigating your health care.

Well aware of cuff sizing,, I make sure the large cuff is used every time..
As to meds,, I challenge the doc every visit, remind him of how long I've been on the meds and ask about kidney & liver markers..
