Why is the test done? 24 hours Blood pressure Monitoring
24-hour blood pressure monitoring can show how your blood pressure changes over the day and night. It can help your doctor understand when and why your blood pressure goes up and down. Your doctor will tell you what your ideal blood pressure should be and if your blood pressure is high. High blood pressure is a very important risk factor for heart disease. Monitoring your blood pressure can help your doctor make treatment decisions, like whether to start you on blood pressure medicines.
