Your blood pressure is being measured as you move around, living your normal daily life. So as to get a clear idea of how your blood pressure changes throughout the day.
• A digital blood pressure monitor is attached to a belt around your waist and connected to a cuff around your upper arm.
• Wear comfortable and loose clothings, preferably a short sleeve top.
• Do take your medication, if any, as advised by your cardiologist and document them.
• After each daytime and evening recording, please document the time, your activity and symptoms (if any).
• It is important to relax your arm and stop your activity each time the machine takes a reading (you will feel the cuff inflates).
• Note down the time you go to bed and the time when you wake up.
Please note:
• Do not shower or bathe when wearing the machine.
• Do not go to the gym or exercise.
• Do not come in contact with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems.
