Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is an effective method when your blood pressure fluctuates, making it hard to get precise results with a normal blood pressure test. In this method, you need to wear a device with a blood pressure cuff on the arm. This device is attached to a recording device on a belt. It will measure blood pressure at specific time intervals over 1 or 2 days. This would help determine your average blood pressure, which excludes any effects of fluctuations after eating, sleeping, or sport. [4]
It is possible to measure blood pressure at home. In home blood pressure monitoring, you can easily use an electronic device with step-by-step instructions. Thanks to recent advancements in medical technology, the procedure has become much more accurate and easier. It is especially suitable for people with white coat hypertension or fluctuating hypertension. You can purchase this device at any pharmacies or health stores. [5]
