As you know, the best indicator of health is the blood pressure. If its fluctuations are observed, then you should go to the doctor, and if you do everything in advance, the subsequent treatment will be much easier and cheaper. But it is not always possible to detect abnormalities on time, however, if there is a tonometer at hand, there will be no problems.

It is desirable that a quality tonometer was in every home, even if the family does not have hypertensive patients, and you are still young and healthy. The fact is that hypertension arises gradually and completely unnoticeably, there are no obvious symptoms of the onset. And this disease is the cause of heart attack, stroke or other similar complications. So you can not run it. And especially cautious it is necessary to be everyone who is inclined to a hypertension - they need to learn to measure pressure by a tonometer in the morning and in the evening. Another is enough to undergo an annual inspection.

If you feel too long a weakness, dizziness, regular headaches or in the ears became "ringing", then it is worth checking the blood pressure. These are frequent secondary signs of an increase or decrease in pressure. And if you use a tonometer, the result will be known in a few minutes. You also need to control the pressure if you have to exercise (for example, sports or hard work).

You can find a suitable tonometer in special medical stores.

They are also sold at most pharmacies. But you should know that their accuracy is not high, so you have to measure pressure three times and derive the average figure, to increase the accuracy. Of course, one can take a mechanical one (it is more precise), but it is even more difficult to use it, so most choose the electronic variant. In any case, make sure that the device is accompanied by the instruction in Russian, and the cuff width is approximately 16 cm.
