Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Jan 2020 2:51pm, 13 Jan 2020 29,510 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) ER would you mind telling me which BP monitor you use? I want to purchase one to use at home as I don’t believe my BP is as high as it reads at GP/hospital appointments, I think it’s white coat syndrome. I am currently refusing medication.

Eynsham Red Jan 2020 5:43pm, 13 Jan 2020 5,201 posts	0 Eynsham Red TR, I’m pretty certain it is white coat syndrome, but I thought that it was worthwhile checking mine against the hospital’s every couple of years just in case. Mrs Jigs, I use an A&D UA767, which is a type available from lots of chemists (or was. I’ve had this model for about 8 or 9 years). I think that the important thing about doing home BPs is to adhere to the instructions and allow a little period of rest before taking the reading. My home readings are typically 120/60. This morning’s were about 160/75 on both.
