Wearing a monitor doesn't interfere with daily activities. The monitors are lightweight, comfortable to wear and quiet. Staff in your physician's office will program the device to automatically measure your blood pressure throughout the day and night. You will have an inflatable cuff worn on one arm and a recording device about the size of a Sony Walkman worn at the waist.

Is wearing the monitor all I have to do?
In combination with monitoring, your doctor may ask you to keep a diary about what time you wake up or go to sleep, when you eat meals, experience strong emotions, stress, take medication, exercise or have other experiences that can affect your blood pressure.
