Sometimes it's not possible to get to see the Doctor or the practice nurse when you need your blood pressure tested.
And for some people there is the problem of "white coat syndrome" when the mere sight of a Doctor or nurse will cause a rise in blood pressure. A problem if the blood pressure results are required to establish what blood pressure medications you require.
But this is where Beurer's BM 28 home blood pressure monitor comes into it's own.
Did you know it’s Blood Pressure UK’s ‘Know Your Numbers Week’ (6th-12th September), the UK’s biggest blood pressure testing and awareness event?
This year, UK adults will be encouraged to check their blood pressure levels at home. And health and well-being specialist, Beurer, has the perfect at home solution.
Each September, Blood Pressure UK works hard takes find adults with undiagnosed and, therefore, uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Unfortunately due to COVID the normal community ‘Pressure Stations’ aren't possible, so people with undiagnosed high blood pressure can't get their high blood pressure identified.
In order to address this issue Blood Pressure UK is calling on people to get home testing during Know Your Numbers week.
Beurer has a range of easy-to-use home blood pressure monitors, like their Beurer BM 28. And you don't even need medical training to use it.
The BM 28 by Beurer is a good looking and compact upper arm blood pressure monitor designed for simple home use.
Designed in German it has the added advantage of being certified for medical use so users can be confident that it will provide accurate readings and it's endorsed by the European Society of Hypertension.
Not only does it measure your blood pressure and pulse rate, it also gives you an arrhythmia detection to alert you to possible heart rhythm irregularities.
Beurer’s blood pressure monitors also features a patented resting indicator. This unique technology checks the users state of rest to ensure they're calm and relaxed, thus ensuring an accurate measurement. Say goodbye to "white coat syndrome!"
Readings are taken automatically using a comfortable cuff and are shown on a large backlit LCD, plus (and this is very useful) the date and time for future reference and a risk evaluation against the internationally recognised World Health Organization (WHO) blood pressure chart.
The Beurer BM 28 blood pressure monitor is available from Health and Care, RRP £32.99.
