WHY CHOOSE THIS TEST

A More Accurate Way to Measure Blood Pressure

Unlike a single clinic reading, 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring provides a complete picture of how your blood pressure changes throughout the day and night. This helps your GP make informed decisions about your health and treatment.

Detect High Blood Pressure

Identify hypertension even when symptoms aren't obvious and confirm whether treatment is needed.

Identify White Coat Hypertension

Some people experience higher blood pressure only during clinic visits. ABPM helps distinguish these temporary increases from true hypertension.

Monitor Overnight Readings

Night-time blood pressure is an important indicator of cardiovascular health. Continuous monitoring helps detect patterns that aren't visible during a routine appointment.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Comfortable Monitoring, Accurate Results

Your monitor will inflate automatically at regular intervals. When this happens, simply relax your arm and keep it still for a few moments. Apart from this, you can continue your normal routine while the device records valuable information for your GP.

Frequently asked questions

At MD, we’re here to help with your questions about our healthcare services and how we support your health needs.

24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a test that measures your blood pressure at regular intervals over a full 24-hour period while you continue your normal daily activities. It provides a more accurate picture of your blood pressure than a single reading taken during a clinic visit.

Your GP may recommend ABPM to diagnose high blood pressure, monitor the effectiveness of your medication, detect White Coat Hypertension, or assess your blood pressure during both the day and night.

Most patients find the monitor comfortable to wear. The cuff inflates automatically throughout the day and night, similar to a standard blood pressure check, and only takes a few seconds for each reading.

Yes. You should carry on with your usual routine as much as possible. This helps provide an accurate record of your blood pressure during everyday life.

Yes. The monitor is designed to be worn overnight and will continue taking readings while you sleep. These night-time readings are an important part of the assessment.

No. The monitor is not waterproof, so you should avoid showering, bathing, or swimming until the device has been removed.

The monitor is usually worn continuously for 24 hours. After this period, you'll return it to Castlemill Family Medical Centre for analysis.

Once the monitor is returned, your GP will review your readings and discuss the results with you. If necessary, they will recommend treatment, further tests, or lifestyle changes.

No special preparation is required. Wear loose-fitting clothing so the blood pressure cuff can be fitted comfortably, and continue taking your prescribed medication unless your GP advises otherwise.
