Yesterday I went to the surgery to be fitted with a blood pressure monitor. I was all strapped up with a band around my arm which was connected up to a unit on my waist. Every 20 minutes it puffed up and was very tight around my arm whilst it read my blood pressure. This went on all afternoon so I clock watched right up until 10 pm when I could take it off and go to bed. I am so sore this morning and I am very glad to have taken it back.
