Mindful Doodles #385 – sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure
If you feel uncomfortable and weird, then it might be your blood pressure. If your eyes feel tired even without you staring at a phone screen or computer monitor, then it might be your blood pressure. You can buy a personal sphygmomanometer from a drug store, or visit a GP to get your reading done. I think its cheaper to buy a sphygmomanometer. Since the physician will charge a consultation fee for every visit. After x number of visits to ask for blood pressure readings, you could have used the money to pay for an instrument. If your readings over several days indicate your blood pressure is high, then you will need to see a doctor. If you feel sick and can’t wait to confirm your blood pressure reading, then see a doctor right away.
Water & meditation may help blood pressure
If you have access to a sphygmomanometer, take a reading now. What is your blood pressure reading now? Write to record it in a book.
Drink a glass of water. Meditate before using your sphygmomanometer. The time difference between drinking the water, meditating, and then taking a reading should be enough for the water and meditation to take some effect. Then take your reading again. Is your blood pressure reading different?
