Lenbro1944 Posted September 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2023 We are soon sailing on the Splendor. A family member is taking a new medication and they are advised to take their blood pressure daily. Is this available on the ship and how difficult is it to have it done?

Nachosdelux Posted September 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) it could me done at the medical center, but there may be a fee. Or it may not be available at convenient times. personally I would purchase a portable electronic blood pressure monitor ($75 or so for a good one) and bring it on the cruise. perhaps a friend or family member has one you could borrow.

Totally just buy one. Good to have anyway. We have had one for ages. Just be sure to buy a good brand. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted September 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2023 We travel with a Panasonic travel Bp monitor. Accurate. Don’t buy one for the wrist. Not accurate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flgreg Posted September 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Agree about not using one for the wrist. We have an Omron that's accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted September 9, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2023 A good wrist monitor can be very c very actuate. Best to talk to your Dr. We check mine and my DH s against the Drs reading at every check up. It has been right on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
