Hi all, my current blood pressure monitor has packed up. I need to take my blood pressure three time a day and keep a record after my AVR and Triple bypass. Can anyone recommend a reliable and robust one.

Yep. I had an Omron M4 that recently packed up. As the replacement was best part of 100 quid I looked at alternatives. Turned out the boots own brand are just rebadged omrons anyways, so just bought the basic £20 model. Works fine and has memory. Only thing I would say is it only comes witha medium cuff. Fits me fine but if you have big arms you might need to look at a model with a large cuff

When I bought my machine from Boots, I had a choice of cuff sizes. Have had it for years, but still works well.

costs a bit but I have the Omron Evolv, find this the best home monitor I have ever used. It is a one size fits all, press a button and it does it’s magic, sends the results to my phone as it has a dedicated app.

Omron is a great make. My doctor uses it
