It’s sounds like your rapping. Your very informative. Lol I just bought one. I love it. Thanks nice video and the way you explain everything
😂 that’s so great to hear, thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽
It’s good to know information about the pacemaker. Tyvm for the video.
I also have one of these and love it! My family (both sides 🤦🏽♀️) has history of bad heart stuff, and while I'm only in my 30s, I want to make sure I'm keeping an eye on my BP to make sure I'm not in any trouble! Great review!
Thanks! It’s always a good idea to know your blood pressure regardless of age, for example even kids can get high blood pressure. Good for you for staying on top of your health, my family history is similar with a lot of heart issues so I’m right there with you!
I’m 25 and I have hypertension stage 2 since my mom died when I was 16. Just got this blood pressure monitor and I absolutely love it! It connects right to the Apple health app and I just bought the scale too!
Just called my insurance provider BCBS and they're sending one over for free. Score. Thanks for the review
Nice! And thanks for watching. If you have anything else you'd like to see, let me know!
How did you work that out?
Thanks for the review. Just bought one. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Just bought one myself and loving it. Great video DR.Z
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Seen good reviews of this device so I am ditching my clunky old battery operated Omron. Love the app support, the connectivity and the iOS support for it. Somethings my Omron just doesn't have. Can't wait to set it up and start using.
The features definitely make it easier to use. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great review.
I’ll get one today
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video doc!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the information review
I HAVE THAT ONE NOW
GOD BLESS
Thank you for watching!
Such an informative video, especially for someone like me who only ever thinks about their BP during medical check-ups. During a routine visit to the doctor's over the Covid period, the NHS nurse told my elderly mum that she now had to measure her BP at home. So I bought a BP measuring device for her but had no idea about which one is right for her. This video would have really helped to make a more informed purchase.
Thanks a lot! Glad she got a device
good review. apparently over 1/2 of US adults have hypertension according to the CDC. that's crazy
Tell me about it - it definitely doesn’t get the attention it deserves
Micro-USB is a deal breaker.
Completely understand. I want one cable. The only reason I got a new iPhone
Nice review, but why don't you show the process of using it?
i have one of these! but i never use it - what do you recommend on getting motivated or WHY i should measure my BP often?
Great question! High blood pressure can silently cause damage to your heart and other parts of your body. We don’t always know our pressure is high and can’t usually feel it so it’s good to check periodically and discuss results with a doctor. I made a video on whether it’s worth checking blood pressure if you want to check it out!
People like me with hypotension always left out 😂😂
All the more reason to keep track of your BP and share the readings with your doctor. Hope you’re alright and taking care of yourself
@@DrZainMD I am it just sucks when all apps have a warning for is hypertension not hypotension, so sometimes when I do have low readings it won’t read it and by the time it does it’s been 5 try’s and my blood pressure is back to a normal reading. I keep a cuff on me at all times and I make sure intake enough salt but sometimes it’s hard to explain to people that hypo exists because they’ve never even heard of it before. Idk sorry for the tangent it’s just a topic I don’t hear a lot of doctors talk about, it effects me daily and makes daily life hard without people realizing it. It makes me have chronic fatigue and is apart of a bigger badder health condition.
Anyways again sorry for the tangent love your channel and can’t wait for more content!
Micro USB in 2023? That says a lot about management/engineering. Plus reading some comments it doesn't support irregular heartbeat detection. And 10 readings use 30% of the battery. I'm pretty sure there are better choices for the price out there.
Great point. Sounds like they could use you in management. Hmu if you ever want to start a better BP machine company
I bought one and never managed to get a reading, I just got error 301 constantly, it's going back...
That's frustrating. Glad you're sending it back. Hope you find one that's accurate and works for you
How do I add other members of my family so we can all be monitored? Thanks
I think there’s a way to do that, if you go to Withings’ website they have an explanation. You can add multiple people to one machine but it requires some work
I loved my old Withings BPM but hate the BPM Connect. The instructions for setting up other users are none existent. personally I’ll stick with the old Bluetooth version. This wi-if one is not at all user friendly unless all you’re going to do is buy it for your own use.
Thanks for your review. I agree, you should get the one that works best for you
Very nice review, one question tough.. is there an option in the app to program the device tot take your blood pressure automatically at a certain time interval? For example once every hour over one night? Thanks!
Great question. I don’t think so, but that would be a pretty cool feature though
I have this and it seems to be giving much higher readings than when I’m at the doctors office. Does this need to be recalibrated?
If you haven’t already, bring it to their office to check at the same time. You might have to get multiple readings of each because of how much BP can fluctuate. And they can confirm your technique is good. If the machine is that off, then maybe exchange it for the same one, or a different machine altogether. If it’s truly inaccurate it’s possible that it’s just that unit and another one will be ok.
It feels this cuff inflates a little too much to the point it hurts. Am i wearing it wrong? I feel my BP gets higher from the pain. lol.
That’s often the case with BP cuffs. You could always take it to a doctor or nurse and see if there’s anything you can change to make it less painful. For me I find taking slow deep breaths help
Do you know if it would be useful for supine and standing Bp or would you just get error messages
It should probably still be accurate standing or supine as long as the cuff is level with the heart and it’s checked in the right way. But to verify, you could check it against other machines
Can I just take my blood pressure without downloading anything to my
Yea but you might be better off with another cuff in that case
One feature I noticed it does not have is detecting irregular heartbeat which most midrange BPM that shares the same price range has. Is this a necessary feature though in a BPM?
Good question! It depends on your individual case
@@DrZainMD tTha k you for the reply. In my case, I have borderline hypertension, however don't have any heart conditions. However, I do have a family background (paternal side) of heart diseases, like my late father who suffered hypertension, clog arteries and stroke. I'm contemplating upgrading my 10+ year old Omron monitor that served since late father. I like the fact that Whithings offers ease of portability and mobility, but cautious at the fact that it may be too basic in functionality.
DO NOT BUY, A PLETHORA OF REVIEWS SAY THAT THIS IS READING TO HIGH AND CAUSING PEOPLE TO OVER MEDICATE. INCLUDING MYSELF.
Thanks for the feedback. Every individual unit has the potential to be inaccurate so it’s always a good idea to check it against one at the doctor’s office
yeah boomers dont want this. solution looking for a problem
