The method used for me was to lie down in a quiet room at the medical centre and have a nurse test my BP 3 times over a 30 minute period. If you have trouble getting  24 hour monitor, they could always do it this way. It's important to get our BP down below 130/80 as quickly as possible, even if that means medication. The first line treatment, ACE inhibitors, are very low on side effects or risks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
