[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 179696, member: 31282"] Re BP - you could ask to borrow one of the 24 hours ones, in case you've got 'white coat syndrome'. I had one a few years ago. It fits under your clothes on a belt round your waist, connected to the usual cuff round your arm, which inflates automatically every hour (I think!), and records your readings. A bit weird, and you have a disturbed night, but it does give you an overall picture. It means going without a shower for 24 hours, though. My BP is much higher in my right arm than in my left :shock: - I haven't managed to explain that one yet, except for the strangeness of having it done that way. We did it in each arm, one after the other. Now I stick to left arm only! Viv :) [/QUOTE]
