High blood pressure symptoms - High blood pressure treatment
I just read an article about how taking the blood pressure reading round the ankle is a good way to predict my risk of stroke or heart attack.
Can I do this ankle blood pressure test with my own home blood pressure monitor?
What readings should I look out for?
I have a history in my family of heart attack - my father and my uncle both had one - so am always looking for things I can do to protect myself.
Is there a special knack to getting ankle blood pressure readings or do I just experiment a bit and figure it out for myself?
Thanks
Welcome to The Pressure Point.
My name is Doctor Gordon Cameron and I'm a doctor based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I specialize in blood pressure treatment for two reasons:
Firstly - I see many thousands of people with the condition each year and I understand the problems that high blood pressure and its treatment can cause.
Secondly, I suffer from raised BP myself and take treatment every day so I really do understand the problems from both sides of the equation. I've taken pretty much every medication on the market at one time or other, and have used or tried most of the natural remedies and cures.
