The spouse has one; keeps a spread sheet of the readings from rising and before bed. Quite a few people we know do this. Keeping a record is good because often it seems to me the doctors push hard for BP meds that in reality I, for instance, don't need. They take BP either right when you get the office walking 20 blocks in 90+ temps, and / or making you wait an hour after the appointment was set, etc.
OTH, seeing a sudden BP spike while at home in the readings, as happened with spouse over July 4 weekend, was more than useful, and he took steps. It could have been very serious if he hadn't had those readings.
