Description
Summary. Your doctor uses a device called a sphygmomanometer, sometimes known as a blood pressure cuff, to take your blood pressure. To block the blood flow in your artery, the cuff is inflated and put around your upper arm.
Among the most reputable manufacturers of the best blood pressure monitors are Morepen, ELKO, Control D, Hicks, and Accusure. According to the WHO assessment system, Dr. Trust’s blood pressure monitors deliver precise systolic and diastolic readings as well as the pulse rate.
The deflated cuff is wrapped around the arm and inflated to obstruct artery flow in order to take a person’s blood pressure. Due to total flow blockage, auscultation across the brachial artery produces no sound at this point since the pressure in the cuff is greater than the systolic pressure.
A pressure of 120/80 or less is considered normal. If your blood pressure is between 130 and 139 mmHg/80 and 89 mmHg, it is deemed high (stage 1). A blood pressure of 140/90 or over is considered stage 2 high. Seek immediate medical attention if your blood pressure readings are 180/120 or above on many occasions.
