No one wants it, yet it's the body's way of getting your attention when something is wrong. You're probably sufficiently in tune with your body to know when the pain is just a bother, perhaps the result of moving furniture a day or two before or eating that third enchilada.
Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors use the radial artery to measure blood pressure instead of the more commonly used brachial artery. The key is to place the monitor on your wrist properly, just above the wrist bone and then to hold your wrist up level with or above your heart.
When a person's pulse is taken at the wrist, the number of times pressure or a beat can be felt within a certain period of time is measured. This beat is blood rushing throughâ¦ the arteries of the body/wrist. The blood which rushed through and caused the beat is the result of one beat of the heart.
