I have just bought one of the Lloyds arm cuff monitors for what seems a bargain price of £9.99 The main problem with it is that it hurts like hell.

I was measured for the arm cuff, but there is no way of avoiding having the velcro against your skin when it inflates to its python-like crush. I'm afraid it is just too painful to use and I have serious doubts about its accuracy.

That's not good

See these reviews from Amazon customers and you may well think twice before "saving" on a Lloyds blood pressure monitor - after all its your health your monitoring.

One of the guidelines for proper blood pressure measurement is that you must be comfortable.

Hi People,

As a GP, I really like it when a patient takes ownership of health problems. Therefore actively monitoring BP can be a good thing, as presumably by monitering it you are also taking steps to improve it.

Remember exercise / less salt and exercise

Oh, but please do not get OTT with measureing it.
