Blood pressure monitors

Watching your health has never been so important, with easy to use home health monitors, it is now easier for you to maintain your health at home, before it is necessary for you to be taken into hospital. Home use blood monitors are now everyday items that many people use in their homes to help control their blood pressure, and are mainly used by individuals who already have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can kill, there are over 60 million people who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, with another 45 million people who have it, but as yet, do not know it, but over 1 million of them will die within a year, and will not even know why.

That's 45 million people with what the doctors call prehypertension, which increases the risk of heart attacks and coronary diseases, which are the the number one and number three killers of Americans every year, killing tens of thousands of normally healthy people every year. High blood pressure can also happen in children and actively fit people, there are cases where marathon runners and distance swimmers have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, some have died though this prehypertenion, whereas if they had a home blood pressure monitor system, they may still be alive. Prehypertension is a sexless disease, in America, half of the diagnosed patients are female.

 Some of the main categories of people who are more susceptible to prehypertension are people with diabetes, the elderly, obese people, women on birth control pills, people with gout. It is most common with people who are aged 35 and over, and having a simple blood monitor at home will help you maintain your blood levels.

 If you have a perfectly fit family, with no family history of high blood pressure or heart attacks, then think yourself lucky, until one of your children are taken into hospital with breathing problems for no apparent reason, or you receive a phone call saying that your 28 year old husband has collapsed at work and is now en-route to a hospital,  you have just joined the biggest killer club in the world, prehypertension.

 Blood pressure monitors are here for a reason, they save lives, they will save your life. The machines are not big and bulky, but are small, electronic, and are easily carried in an average woman's handbag, and they cost only a few dollars for each one, how much do you reckon your child is worth? One blood pressure monitor in your house will cost you less than going out to a cinema to watch a film, but a film cannot save your wife's life.

Over one million people next year will die horribly, painfully, yet needlessly, because they did not watch their blood pressure, it does not just affect people with high profile and dangerous jobs, it is a killer, and it is relentless, the Black Plague was nothing compared to this disease. Every person who has lost a son, daughter, wife, husband or any other member of their family because that person failed to simply take a simple two minute, weekly high blood pressure test at home, has regretted every moment since.

People with blood pressure readings of 120/80 to 139/89, are considered to have prehypertension, and would need to change their lifestyle, but not as dramatically as you think. There are medicines that can help reduce your high blood pressure such as Diovan, and Beta Blockers help reduce the heart rate, Angiotensin Converting Enzyme ( ACE ) to name but a few, but if you discover that you have high blood pressure, do not just take medicines for it, consult a doctor first. You will need to change your diet to include more fresh fruit and vegetables and even take up a little exercise, don't think about it, DO IT. There is no known cause of this disease, but of course smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, stressful situations and such activities, do make you more likely to get it.

 With a blood pressure monitor, you could easily avoid lots of problems with your health as well as the health of your entire family. You could check your families blood pressure every week, make it an event on a Friday evening after dinner. Allow the children to use it, show them how  it works, a blood pressure monitor is very simple and does not involve needles. My six year old daughter checks my blood pressure, she wants me to live, could you stand by and watch your own child clutch their heart and pass away in your arms, I couldn't, then again, I have a blood pressure monitor.
