What Is A Blood Pressure Holter Moniter?
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 H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
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 hypotension
then i suggest you for 24 hours B.P monitor.
Thanx.
Keep in touch.Always welcome for further query
