Best Blood Pressure Monitors of 2020

Did you know that in India, only 1/3^rd people know that they have hypertension? From these 1/3^rd people, only 1/3^rd people are getting treated for it. From those who are getting treated, only 1/3^rd people have their blood pressure under control.

You should not take hypertension lightly as it can produce stroke, heart failure, and heart attack.

Blood pressure monitoring is the first baby step in the goal of having normal blood pressure.

You can measure your blood pressure in two ways – manually or through sphygmomanometers. Measuring blood pressure manually has its own problems as it is prone to human errors.

Monitoring blood pressure through digital devices avoids this problem, and it also gives you an option to monitor your blood pressure from the comfort of your home.
