[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2353193, member: 420515"] There was a previous thread where the poster had been asked to buy a blood pressure machine. My opinion is if it's essential equipment the nhs should provide it, if it's not essential equipment you should not be pressured into buying it. It's a bit like a bg test kit, if your blood pressure is high or borderline its probably better to know what's happening day to day. Personally, I have access to a bp machine, but never use it as I get much lower results when measured in clinic (yes the machine is calibrated well, I'm just calmer and produce better results in hospital rather than at home ).
