We decided to forgo  our old sphygmomanometer in favor of a wrist digital blood pressure monitor.   We  decided to  buy the latest apparatus with LCD screen so that hubby can constantly monitor his blood pressure even if I am not around in the house.  It is handy and convenient to use too!  My husband got alarmed when friends one by one had stroke or heart attack that are associated with hypertension.  And he is one candidate because he too is hypertensive and on maintenance medication.

Our BP apparatus is ever reliable having served its purpose to the fullest…lol… it is now high time for it to retire.  Hubby will no longer bother to wake me up at night to have his blood pressure reading because with the new digital blood pressure monitor we bought, he can do it himself.   It is easy to use with its large LCD display and comfortable wrist cuff.  The systolic and diastolic pressure reading will be displayed in the LCD monitor.  It’s handy!

Actually both apparatus have their own advantages and disadvantages and it all depends on what you prefer to use.. The manual or the digital?  For us?  We want to go modern this time!

Bye.. manual bp apparatus! You’ve been with us for decades already… good job!

from manual to digital……
