A member asked:

Anyone have suggestions for a cheap yet effective blood pressure monitor? i've seen some really expensive one's and i feel i don't need that. thanks.

Pharmacy: I don't know what you consider inexpensive. Go to some pharmacies and price them. The pharmacist will help you decide. Also check at discount stores in the pharmacy area. Again the pharmacist will be glad to assist you.
