So, if you have high blood pressure, you can still use anti-depressants with no problems but some may require little adjustments to their high blood pressure protocols. Your doctor or physician may choose to avoid certain anti-depressants and try-cyclic anti-depressants that elevate blood pressure.

In choosing a blood pressure monitor the accuracy of the device should be the most important consideration. Secondly, the reliability of the readings should be considered. Thirdly, the ease of use of the device should be taken into account.

Accuracy refers to the degree to which the blood pressure readings obtained actually reflects the true pressure within the arteries at the time that readings are performed. Reliability on the other hand, refers to the degree to which blood pressure readings reflect the average arterial pressure within a 24-hour period of time.
