Product Reviews of Omron HEM-712CLC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Large Cuff
Product Review: Awesome machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
After going to the dr. office and waiting sometimes an hour or two to get in, it's expected to have high blood pressure. Not to mention knowing the dr. is going to "find" something wrong with you no matter what. Several visits in row my numbers were slightly high - I blamed it on White Coat Syndrome - the dr. said no. Not to mention I have large arms and he insisted on using the small cuff. So he put me on meds. A week later, one day I was dizzy - had a family member who is an EMT take my pressure - it was on the lower end of normal on a day I did not take the medicine early - I forgot about it. I came off the medicine until the next appointment. The doctor took it again that week, it was sky high. He told me to buy this machine. Took my own pressure for 2 weeks and it was basically perfect on every reading. So needless to say, when I went back, it wasn't the pressure he was concerned about, it was another "problem" that he created.Product Review: BP monitor

Summary: 5 Stars
When working as ER physician, I would frequently listen to blood pressure readings using a stethescope and my own ears before making decisions about iv medications. But, for home use, I always recommend that people use an automatic cuff because it takes the fudge-factor out. I'll frequently have patients tell me their blood pressure's doing great (when it's actually very elevated) when they listen with a stethescope. The automatic reading doesn't allow for the mistake from poor hearing, poor stethescope skills, or just unconscious wishful thinking.
As for automatic cuffs, I've found the Omron brand to be very reliable (actually was required to use this brand once in a research project I did with a new blood pressure medication).
If you're interested in lowering your blood pressure (and your doctor agrees) I'd also recommend that you use a combination of "The Abs Diet, Eat Right Every Time," alternating with a weekly fast using "The Miracle of Fasting" by Paul Bragg as a guide.
The most powerful way to lower weight and blood pressure without medication is to gradually work your way up to walking about 20 miles per week. It seems outrageous to most with high blood pressure...but there is a way to go from sedentary to active (see my website).
Also, I'd recommend the Resperate device sold here as a proven way to lower blood pressure (all effects will be minimal without walking).
Again, check all this out with your physician first.
Peace & Health,

My husband's dr. recommended this so that he could keep track of his blood pressure. He appreciates the convenience.
