Dear Laural,
If only I had the courage to use a BP cuff at home..... My absolutely unfounded and dumb fear is that if I got a high reading, I'd panic, causing it to go higher, resulting in stroke, heart attack, and every other imaginable blight to humankind, and there wouldn't be proper available medical intervention.
My gynecologist who I trust (20 year doc/patient relationship w/him) can take it and I handle it "ok" (not great, but ok), asked why I could let him take it and not others. I said because I trust him, and if it was high, he'd know what to do. He laughed and said, "Yes, I'd call a real doctor."
