Peggy, taking your own BP at home is easy, so if it causes you anxiety at first then know that will lessen quickly. I’ve done it for years and it is a great tool to have in your arsenal to combat high BP and IBS. Knowledge is power!

Thanks for the hug

My anxiety disorder makes it harder

I take my blood pressure at home and its easy to do. I usually do it a couple of times because the first reading tends to be higher . The second reading is more accurate for me. I think it is very helpful to have this at home instead of wondering about my blood pressure.
