[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2353179, member: 41816"] Here in the UK, bp monitors are sometimes given out to patients for a few days at a time, so they can test their own bp at home, and give the results to the surgery. The bp monitor is then returned to the surgery. I would imagine that this is happening far less often due to covid and the increased hygiene measures required for medical equipment. a few years ago, I was offered a bp machine so I could test for a few days, but I would have to wait weeks for one to become free. Instead, I opted to buy my own (under £40 from Amazon, same brand as used by my doc), and it has proved to be useful to have one conveniently available ever since. [/QUOTE]
