How accurate are home blood pressure monitors?

I bought a manual inflate arm cuff blood pressure monitor that gives out a digital reading. The pharmacist recommended it over the auto inflate b/c it was half the price and he said that would be the only difference. The reason i purchased one is b/c i’m pregnant and my BP has been in the 140’s over 80’s at my docs office lately. When i take my BP at home with this monitor, it’s been in the 120’s over 70’s. It’s made by HoMedics. Thanks!

The best way to be sure — is to take your home meter with you on your next doctor visit and do a side-by-side comparison: his (or her) professional reading, and your home reading.
If the two readings are close to the same then your home meter is accurate; if they are not close, then your home meter is not accurate.
