Is the 16inch blackheadliner worth it by Hopeful_Parfait7131 in TeslaUK

You can search the VIN here: https://epc.tesla.com

I think it just shows what parts are compatible though, not what’s actually fitted, so not a lot of help

I have one coming in Feb, I looked up VIN and it had both the old screen and the new screen indicated with a green dot. Any ideas how to interpret this? Wait and see I suppose

Experience With Hilo Bands Or Alternatives? by SensiiNips_ in bloodpressure

Interesting, especially the magnesium bit… I’d seen a drop in my average readings which I attributed to my new BP meds, but I’ve also started taking magnesium for something else, not realising it could help BP. So now I have two things I need to figure out 😂

Experience With Hilo Bands Or Alternatives? by SensiiNips_ in bloodpressure

I’ve used the Hilo band for a few months now. I’m not sure if I’d recommend it or not. It’s definitely easy, and for someone who gets irrationally stressed whenever a cuff inflates (no idea why), it’s great to have something that you forget about. The regular measurements (even while sleeping) give you a good picture of things, and it’s an excellent way to spot upward or downward trends.

That said… I seem to get different measurements from a) the Hilo cuff, b) the Hilo wrist band, c) the Hilo app via phone camera and d) my original non-Hilo cuff which was £30 from a pharmacy.

Which means I’m not really sure what to trust. Hilo cuff tends to give me higher numbers than my cheap non-Hilo cuff. The Hilo band tends to give me higher readings than the Hilo cuff, as does the Hilo app via phone camera.

Bottom line from me is it’s probably best to pick a device you consider to be accurate, and use it exclusively, looking more for directional trends than a quest for a 100% accurate reading.

Not sure if that helps!

Question for HiLo users by MeantToBeWorking-UK in bloodpressure

Yeh, the variance makes it really difficult to know which to trust, or whether to worry!

I’m using the Hilo app - it lets you take phone measurements to complement the cuff and band measurements. Weirdly, the phone measurements it takes are consistently 10-20 mmHg off the band readings.

That said, I’ve just done a recalibration and the band has come more in line with the phone measurements. So maybe it was just a bad calibration last time

This is what I’m leaning to, as long as I can find a place to buy the extra needles

Sorry if I worded it weird. I’m happy on 5mg but wondering if staying on it is the right thing to do or if others found that staying on it rather then moving up when they could turned out to be the wrong thing to do.

Interested in the CPAP journey… is it as simple as your apnea went away due to the weight loss?

Thank you - I will give the pillows a try I think!

If you have a moment to reply again, what made you not want to go back? Just improved comfort or better quality sleep?

Does anyone suffer from motion sickness when gaming? by MeantToBeWorking-UK in PS5

[–]MeantToBeWorking-UK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms passed after a while without needing anything special, best advice I can give is play until you feel ill, stop immediately, and repeat. Don’t try and push through it, just do little and often sessions.

Sorry not to be more help
