I'm currently on medication for hypertension (high blood pressure) and my Dr has recently told me that as I'm "young" I really should really be monitoring it (I'm 43). She recommended that I buy a monitor so that I can keep a check on it (it's recently been 206/109 and 188/100).
Although I don't have huge arms I need one with a large/adjustable cuff as the one we had given to us by a family member wasn't any good as the cuff flew off when I tried to use it!!!
I have seen one that fits around the wrist on Amazon although I must admit I always thought blood pressure was taken using a cuff on the upper arm. I'll attach the link . . .

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank You
