Blood Pressure Monitors Delivery or Pickup
Tips on how to buy blood pressure monitors
Having an at-home blood pressure monitor is an important step to caring for yourself and taking charge of your health. Shopping for blood pressure monitors online poses unique challenges because you can't see the product for yourself which can impede your ability to confidently choose a machine that fits your needs. However, you can still benefit from the convenience of Instacart delivery or pickup for your health needs when you know how to choose an at-home blood pressure monitor.
Choosing from blood pressure monitors
When deciding on a blood pressure monitor you need to pick one that fits your individual needs, is easy for you to use, and will give you an accurate reading. Read product descriptions carefully and be sure to understand the directions included with the device before you use it. Most monitors require batteries, but the type of battery needed changes from monitor to monitor. There are various models available to suit your needs. Among them, you should seek a monitor that:
- Goes around your upper arm for precision. Wrist and finger monitors are available, but are typically not as accurate.Â
- Has a cuff that easily and comfortably fits your arm. For the reading to be accurate it can't be overly large or tight.Â
- Is automated. A cuff that is self-inflating will make monitoring your blood pressure easier and provide accuracy when managing your health.
- Has a digital read-out screen that is large and bright so you can easily see the results.Â
- Is marked with a line on the cuff that guides you to place it on your arm correctly each time.Â
Consider other features you might like. Some available blood pressure monitors can plug into a phone or mobile device to create a map of your results and help you visualize your progress. Others can link remotely to your personal email or phone and send an account of your readings to you electronically. When ready, add your monitor to the cart using the Instacart app for delivery in as little as two hours.
Tips for using blood pressure monitors at home
When recording vital information to manage your health and well-being, it is important to take steps and ensure you have accurate information and a complete picture of your health. Search stores in the Instacart app to find a monitor that suits your needs and can make monitoring your blood pressure daily easy. Consider these tips:
- Avoid drinking caffeine, alcohol, or smoking for at least half an hour before taking your blood pressure.
- Keep your arm rested and level with your heart.Â
- Sit quietly for a few minutes with your feet flat on the floor.Â
- Ensure the cuff is touching bare skin on your arm.Â
- Remain silent during the measurement.
- Record your readings consistently.Â
- If the reading is initially too high, remain calm and retest after a few minutes.Â
