Hypertension is a problem in my family. :thunbdown: In recent years my blood pressure has been up and down a bit which gets picked up during routine health tests and I end up having to go down to the docs peridocially to follow up. Which is a bit of a pain to be honest.

So I'm thinking of getting a home blood pressure monitor so that I can keep an eye on it myself and not have to keep going back to the docs just for randomly high readings. Obviously if it stays high I would then get medical advice.

Are they a bit of a con?
Are they any good?
Can anyone recommend a decent one that is fairly hassle free?

Thanks
