The Mirror.1. Blood Pressure According to Professor Gareth Beevers of Blood Pressure UK ( bloodpressureuk.org ), if you are required to have your blood pressure measured you should always request Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM).
This is where the blood pressure is measured across intervals over a 24 hour period at home first. This system is reported to provide far more accurate readings than a lone reading at a GP surgery.Alternatively, you can buy your own monitor (from £15-20) to record your blood pressure levels at home, again staggered in regular intervals before writing down your results to show your GP.
