Disclosure: I received this product complimentary for testing purposes but all opinion are my own.
A few days ago the doctor told me that I am starting to have pressures more high than normal. The doctor suggested to monitor my pressure at home and change my lifestyle, exercising and improving my eating habits. I definitely put in practice all doctor's suggestions.
Exercise and modify my diet has been very simple. Not in practice, but getting the information to make the changes. However, it was difficult to find a product to monitor my pressure that was easy and simple to handle. I needed something very
simple, I don't know anything about nursing, so while more easy, best for me.
During the search for the perfect product for me, I had the opportunity to try Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series. This product appeared in my life at the right time. Let me count a little bit about the product.

Recommendations on Use: (From the Amazon website)
Ensure that you are not eating, talking, laughing or smoking for at least 5 minutes before a measurement. - Do not talk, read, eat or watch television during measurement. Try your best to relax and avoid distractions. - Stimulants such as caffeine and certain medicines can affect your blood pressure. Taking your blood pressure at the same time every day in a relaxed setting will provide a better picture of your blood pressure over time. - Using your blood pressure monitor’s Average function is recommended as individual results may vary based on other factors, such as stress, exercise, smoking, ambient temperature, and a recent meal resulting in a full stomach and/or bladder. - Taking your blood pressure at home and then at your Doctor’s office can sometimes lead to different results, due to heightened anxiety sometimes experienced when visiting the Doctor. - Ensure that your arm/wrist and heart are level. - Taking repeated readings in rapid fashion can lead to inaccurate measurements. Allow for a few minutes to pass before the next reading, taking care to remain relaxed and calm. - Always sit upright while taking a measurement and rest your elbow on a flat surface. Do not cross your legs. - Ensure that thick clothing is removed when taking a measurement. - Ensure that the wrist cuff is ¼ to ½” away from the bottom of your palm. - Ensure that the wrist cuff is fitted so as to allow one finger to fit in between your wrist and the cuff. - Do not place cellular phones near the blood pressure monitor.
My experience
When I opened the box and saw the product I thought that could be easy to use. I read the instructions on the package and tried it for the first time. It was very simple to use it. Machine tells you what to do to get your blood pressure. Also tells you when your arm is in the right place. Then informs you if your blood pressure is normal, low or high. It is a simple and useful product. I recommend it, buy it on
Amazon.
Thank you for visiting me.

SPANISH VERSION
Hace unos d铆as el doctor me dijo que estoy comenzando a tener presiones mas altas de lo normal. El doctor sugiri贸 monitorear mi presi贸n en casa y modificar mi estilo de vida, haciendo ejercicios y mejorando mis habitos alimenticios. Definitivamente yo puse en practica todas sugerencias doctor.
Hacer ejercicios y modificar mi alimentaci贸n ha sido muy sencillo. No en la practica, pero s铆 obteniendo la infomaci贸n para hacer los cambios. Sin embargo, fue dificil encontrar un producto para monitorear mi presi贸n que fuera f谩cil y sencillo de manejar. Necesitaba algo muy sencillo, no s茅 nada de enfermer铆a, as铆 que mientras mas f谩cil, mejor para mi.
Durante la b煤squeda de ese producto perfecto para mi, tuve la oportunidad de probar Ozeri CardioTech Pro Series. Este producto apareci贸 en mi vida en el mejor momento.
Les voy a contar un poco sobre el producto:

Estimulantes como la cafe铆na y ciertos medicamentos pueden afectar su presi贸n arterial. Tomar su presi贸n arterial a la misma hora cada d铆a en un ambiente relajado proporcionar谩 una mejor imagen de su presi贸n arterial con el tiempo. Se recomienda usar la funci贸n promedio del monitor presi贸n arterial ya que los resultados individuales pueden variar en base a otros factores, como estr茅s, ejercicio, fumar, temperatura ambiente y una comida reciente, resultando en un est贸mago lleno o en la vejiga. Aseg煤rese de que su brazo, mu帽eca y coraz贸n est茅n bien nivelados. -Lecturas repetidas de manera r谩pida pueden producir mediciones inexactas. Siempre si茅ntese en posici贸n vertical mientras toma una medici贸n y descansar el codo sobre una superficie plana. No cruce las piernas. Aseg煤rese de que la ropa gruesa se elimina al tomar una medici贸n. Evite tener celulares cerca durante el proceso de medici贸n.
Mi experiencia
Cuando abr铆 la caja y vi el producto pens茅 que podia ser f谩cil de usar. Le铆 las intrucciones del empaque y lo trat茅 por primera vez. Fue muy sencillo usarlo. La m谩quina te dice lo que debes hacer para obtener tu presi贸n arterial. Adem谩s te indica cuando tu brazo esta en el lugar correcto. Luego te informa si tu presi贸n arterial esta normal, baja o alta. Es in product sencillo y 煤til. Yo lo recomiendo, lo puedes conseguir en
Amazon.
Gracias por venir.
