3. Omron

I use my omron when I need reassurance that the numbers correspond to my symptoms. Sometimes I feel dizzy and check my blood pressure to chart my numbers and symptoms. With this information I am able to have a conversation with my doctor. I also correspond it to caffeine intake, medication response time, fatigue or my cognition. I write my data down in a handy dandy notebook and bring it to the doctors' appointments. I do not have "cardiovascular disease" but a few other fun diseases that effect my circulation and cognition. My specialists appreciate that I can see correlation and can use the data for coping mechanisms such as posture, breathing exercises, removing myself from stressful situations and people.

Ask the Docs and RN's for input. There are also nurse educators available in larger institutions. Ask the staff
Hang in there,
