A member asked:

I have hypertension and i was put on meds i have been checking my blood pressure with a wrist monitor and it sometimes is around 201/119 i take my meds it gets to normal then to low then to high this happens a lot could that be more harmfull ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Change to arm monito: I am not sure whether wrist monitor is appropriate fro you/your body habitus. Buy an arm monitor and the readings will be more reliable.Take the medications regularly around the same time each day, maintain a log and if still poorly controlled consult your PCP.
