Wrist blood pressure devices are readily available and offer convenience and portability. They definitely are not as accurate as the arm devices. However, if you use the device as instructed then they are fine. To ensure proper reading, measure your blood pressure in the same position each time, because wrist devices are sensitive to changes in body position.
Next write down your blood pressure readings and compare them to what you get in the doctor’s office. If the readings are within 5-10 mm, you are doing fine. Do not be alarmed if the results are not exactly same as in the doctor's office-, sometimes it is the doctors’ machine that is crap.
