    How do I calibrate a digital blood pressure monitor at home?

    Hi friends, I'm 64 and my doctor wants me to track my numbers at home but I'm not sure I'm using the cuff quite right. My hands aren't as steady and I have some arthritis, so I need something with big buttons and a clear screen. I tried replacing the batteries and sitting quietly for a few minutes before measuring, but my readings jump around a lot. I watched a couple of videos and tried positioning the cuff at heart level. I'm on a fixed income so I don't want to buy a fancy one I can't figure out. Is there a simpler model that's easier to set up and a reliable way to check it's reading accurately?
