24-hour blood-pressure monitoring
A wearable monitor giving a full 24-hour picture of your blood pressure. €60.
A 24-hour blood pressure test gives a clearer picture of how your blood pressure changes over the course of a day than a single reading can. A cuff attached to a portable device worn on your waist tests your blood pressure automatically roughly every 30 minutes over 24 hours. A McGreals pharmacist fits the monitor in-store and removes it the next day, then provides a detailed report you can take to your GP.
