A member asked:
How does a 24 hour blood pressure test work? is it like a heart holter test? or does it record on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
On its own: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (abpm) measures blood pressure at regular intervals. Blood pressure gets measured as you move around, living your normal daily life. It uses a small digital blood pressure machine that is attached to a belt around your body and which is connected to a cuff around your upper arm. It small enough you can sleep with it on.
