Hello

I'm just wondering whether there are any peeps about that have had the 24 hour blood pressure holter monitor??

I'm asking as I had mine fitted this morning and I'm finding it really uncomfortable on my arm It really does inflate very, very tight, it cuts off my blood supply in my left arm so that my hand goes red and purple and I'm finding it pretty painful really.

It's inflating every half an hour during the day and every hour during the night.......I can't quite fathom out why it would need to take readings so frequently, I mean they don't even usually take your blood pressure that often if you were in hospital do they?

I just hope I have the patients and staying power to keep the damn thing on all night!!!...........roll on tomorrow morning
