Is there such a thing as a blood pressure halter that a patient wears and BP is monitored 24 hrs a day? My mother 80 years has an orthostatic condition that is worsening. Her BP drops 30-40 pts when she stands up. we would like to monitor this with a BP halter if there is such a thing. she wears compression stockings already.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. My pleasure to help you. Yes friend, now this is standard practice to monitor 24 blood pressure. The 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitor will monitor your blood pressure over this period. This instrument is a small computerized device and this regularly test (At fixed interval)your blood pressure over the course of the day. As you told about your mother with history of worsening orthostatic hypotensionthen I suggest you for 24 hours B. P monitor. Thanx. Keep in touch. Always welcome for further query
