Some interesting reading....thanks for posting. I have normal to low but still interested in learning.

Maui, they rec. you test any home monitor with the Dr's. As some of the home ones aren't real accurate. I took mine to the Dr's to check it.

Thanks for all the info. I am looking into gettinga machine. 10 years ago my bp was 90/70, it stayed that way. After the man I was living with passed away it ljumped to 120/80. I told the dr that it had changed but they didn't worry about it. Then the nurse said that the nrmal had changed. 120/80 wasn't considered normal that 146/80 was. Now they are back to the normal everyone is familiar with.
