Hi
There are many BP measurement instruments available in market.
But the use of mercury apparatus is more reliable that is available with doctor.
If you want to check BP at home you can go with electrical any BP instrument.
It gives you general idea. Not correct measurement.
But needs BP measurement by clinician on monthly basis.
Next Steps
on every follow up with your physician
record it.
Generally only BP measurement charges will be 50 rupees.
