Frequently Asked Questions

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a 24-hour test that uses a portable cuff and monitor to measure your blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night. It gives a more accurate picture of how your blood pressure behaves during daily activities and sleep. This helps identify patterns that one-time clinic readings may miss.

ABPM is recommended if your in-clinic blood pressure readings are inconsistent or don’t reflect your usual levels. It can help detect conditions like white coat or masked hypertension and assess how well your medications are working over time. It’s also useful if you're experiencing symptoms like dizziness or fatigue without a clear cause.

The cuff inflates every 15 to 30 minutes, which can feel tight but is generally well tolerated. Some people find it mildly disruptive during sleep, but most adjust quickly. Any discomfort is minimal compared to the valuable insights it provides.

Yes, the monitor is designed to be worn continuously, even while sleeping. Nighttime readings are important for detecting conditions like nocturnal hypertension. Try to sleep as normally as possible for the most accurate results.

Once the 24-hour period is complete, you’ll return to the clinic to have the device removed. Our team will analyze your results and go over your blood pressure trends with you. Based on the data, we’ll recommend any next steps or treatment changes if needed.
