I thought I would have a change from all the heavy stuff I have been writing about lately, and write about a little machine I bought about six months ago.
The Omron MX3. It is a bloodpressuremonitor.
All my life my bloodpressure has been wildly erratic. The highest measured bloodpressure I recorded was 180/100. High yes, but I had just spent 12 minutes on a treadmill having a heart test. Anyway it was back to 140/80 within 5 minutes.
They told me that was great.
Anyway when I go to the doctors it varies between 157/95 being the highest and 117/76 being the lowest. Generally though it is about 140/80-85
I have researched this a little and I have realised that your bloodpressure can vary and change very rapidly. I have confirmed this by visits to the doctor and a medical friend of mine who uses a different machine to the one ...
This isn?t cheap tat as the £9.99 price tag would indicate. I was inspired to write this review because I was horrified at the price tag of most of these BP monitors. I never realised the price that some of the brands were going for. I have one of these; I also bought my dad one. I also have an Omron R6 but I have decided not to review it once I found out it was being sold for £75, you see I paid £4.99 for mine. Admittedly the Omron looks nicer than Lloyds but not that much nicer.
The Lloyds is actually a £50.00 machine but the price is reduced to £9.99. Admittedly the price cuts are not all down to altruism; Lloyds are a rapidly developing pharmaceutical market leader, their market share has increased by 67%. They have achieved this by placing pharmacies in GPs surgeries and doing free health checks i.e. diabetic and bloodpressure ...
being totally convinced I needed this medication, and the fact that I was scared witless to begin taking it, I invested in a Pressuremonitor. Okay it set me back nearly £80 (bar 5p). But hey, if it meant I didn’t need this extra tablet it was worth the outlay.
I had white coat syndrome and now I had to prove it!
The meter
~~~~~~~~~~
Meters come in various shapes and forms, and probably complexities. However my one was simple (you know me not technical at all). I bought my meter online from www.p2u.co.uk and as stated I paid almost £80. The small box it came in contained just the monitor and an instruction leaflet/BP recording form. The meter is attached to a small cuff, which secures around the wrist.
How to use
~~~~~~~~~~~
Simply place the cuff around your wrist and fix in place with the Velcro. Next switch ...
