Blood Pressure Monitoring
InHealth Centres offering Blood Pressure Monitoring:
Our blood pressure monitoring service allows your blood pressure to be monitored over 24 hours, while you go about your normal activities.
Before your appointment
You do not need to make any special preparations, unless you have had specific advice from your doctor.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time; if you are late we may not be able to carry out your test. Please do not bring children to your appointment.
During your appointment
When you arrive, our staff will explain the procedure to you and answer any questions you may have. We will attach a blood-pressure cuff (a bit like a water wing) to your upper arm. The cuff is connected to a small portable recorder which is similar in size to a personal stereo and can be worn on a belt around your waist.
Your first visit will take about 15 minutes to attach the cuff. The cuff inflates automatically every 30 minutes during the day and every 60 minutes at night, to record your blood pressure. You should not remove the cuff or get it wet.
After the test is completed you will need to return the apparatus. You will be given instructions on where to return the equipment.
After your appointment
You will be told when to return the equipment by the technician who fitted the equipment. A specialist will look at the results and send a report to the doctor who referred you. You should telephone to confirm that they have received your report before arranging an appointment, unless the doctor has made different arrangements with you.
