They will be able to check its accuracy with you. If the monitor is accurate, your doctor is the best source of information on the reasons for it. Hope this helps!

At the moment after about 14 readings (2 per day) I get average results of 177 over 58. This seems to contradict expected norm of 140 over 80. I am sure I have it working properly. Could there be a reason for this? Thank you. Hello,

If it is still under warranty they should replace it for you. Good luck! Steve Hi Kaps,

Take my BP regularly. I endorse all Steve's comments, it's a great little machine. Only recently (2 months) replaced the batteries for the first time. Incidentally I have my BP taken prior to and after dialysis treatment and the readings are almost always comparable to those I take at home.

But a recent elevated reading at a specialist's office suggested I re-evaluate. So today I started readings just as I got up, and through the day I have already collected 7 of them. Took my morning meds at the time of the first one, plan about another 5 or so until I go to bed. The idea is to average them out, weekday, weekend, bad day, good day, and not get too excited about any single one. That average should be, like, 140/90 or lower, 130/80 if you have high risk conditions, like diabetes. Keep a log is a good suggestion.
