For about $40 or so, you can buy a very accurate blood pressure monitor at Walgreen's, or CVS, or WalMart, or nearly anywhere. The only expertise it requires is wrapping a velcro sleeve around your arm, pressing one button, and reading the result off a small screen. We've had ours checked at the doctor's office several times, and it's always been perfectly accurate. Anyone with unstable blood pressure should have one, and it's a lot simpler than driving into town.

Good suggestion. They are often on sale.

Avoid the wrist cuffs, they are not quite as accurate.

Good grief! I completely missed the post. Prayers for you Frank. Undies too.

Keep on the meds. I also agree with the above, get your own bp tester. I use a wrist version. It's quite old now, but is still accurate as measured against the doctor's office. Your blood pressure can vary so quickly, with a home tester, you can take steps to lower your bp before it gets out of control.

I saw your post above noting your bp over the last few years being 17x/7x ? If so, that top number is too high. Make sure your docs know your historical average.

Hang in there Frank.

Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Same here, I had no idea you'd been so sick. Looks like you've got it under control for now, but it makes sense you're tired out after going through all that. I don't think you can rest up enough - hope you continue to feel better and better and God Bless.
