Home medical kit

I have a pretty thorough home medical kit including an oximeter.
However the situation with Coronavirus I have obviously been reassessing what we have. My dad has high blood pressure, do the MN hive mind think that I should have some form of blood pressure monitor at home it is that going too far?

We have one, my dh has high blood pressure so we like to hear k it from time to time.

BP monitor for on going BP or to enable discussions re meds to save visiting gp practice maybe helpful.
Specifically in relation to covid unlikely to be very helpful. Respiratory, pulse ox and temp more useful in assessment. Hope that helps. (Nurse practitioner)

We have one. I bought it when a relative was unwell and living with me.
I don't have an oximeter but thinking of buying one (mainly to check on that relative who now lives alone elsewhere and their levels do fall at night). Any recommendations would be welcomed.

Thanks guys and mumof1, that was exactly where my thinking was. Thanks for the reassurance.
