I used an automatic wrist bp cuff made by drkea after coming home from a surgery with a blood loss of 900cc¿s, a low rbc, low bp and serious dehydration.I was told to watch my bp and drink as much as possible.If my bp stayed low i was to go to the hospital er if i had symptoms, ie: dizziness or fainting or stumbling.My bp was constantly 70¿s/50¿s.I was a bit tipsy and dizzy.After 3 days of rehydration, the bp remained very low.Instead of going to the hospital, because i felt fine at that point, i had a visiting nurse to the house and the next day a pt visit.Their bp measurement with a manual adult arm cuff, my bp was consistently 120/78.My husband bought an adult manual arm cuff and my bp has been fine at 120¿s/70¿s.I had not taken any cardizem for my bp as ordered to resume when bp stabilized after rehydration.Not to mention, my husband taking a day off from work, leaving the staff short and losing that day¿s pay.
