I'd shake my head every time I noticed them in the drug store... And then I began to wonder: Should I get one for my mother? She has high blood pressure... Or would she become overly-anxious about it?
I opted to leave it...
Then at my recent check-up, my doctor commented: Your blood pressure is a little high... Do you monitor it daily?
Do you mean, do I have one of those little machines at home?
She nodded.
No, I replied.
Well, you should probably get one. Your blood pressure might be higher here in the clinic than it is at home... Keep track of your readings...
So I went out and got one to check my blood pressure every morning...
(In case you're wondering, my blood pressure seemed quite high at first - but then the readings dropped considerably after I read the instructions on how to use the machine!)
