Is home automatic sphygmomanometer good for upper arm or wrist? what do you think?

As we all know, there are two kinds of automatic sphygmomanometers at home, one is the upper arm type, and the other is the wrist type, but the wrist type is better than the other, because when the elderly are alone at home, they can wear the automatic sphygmomanometer on their wrists very well, and it will be particularly troublesome if it is the upper arm type.

Doctors will tie the upper arm sphygmomanometer to the patient's upper arm for measurement, but this operation cannot be completed by one person, so the upper arm automatic sphygmomanometer is still not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Secondly, there is a wrist blood pressure measuring instrument, which is not only very convenient, but also can be directly tied to your wrist, and you can measure your blood pressure well by pressing Start.

Second, the upper arm blood pressure monitor is more accurate.

However, the value measured by wrist sphygmomanometer may be somewhat inaccurate, because this sphygmomanometer measures the blood pressure of artery, so it is still different from its normal blood pressure. The upper arm sphygmomanometer is most suitable for the body, and measures the blood pressure of brachial artery, so it is more suitable for the body and closer to the examination results of the hospital. However, some middle-aged and elderly people will have blood circulation disorders themselves, so it is better for such patients to use the upper arm sphygmomanometer as much as possible.

Third, the conclusion

You can buy a fully automatic sphygmomanometer with excellent cost performance, performance and materials according to the suggestions of surrounding medical staff. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people should be instructed to go to the medical clinic every week to measure their blood pressure in order to better understand their own situation.
