has anyone else had one of these ? just had mine fitted and couldnt resist when i got home to take it out the pouch so i could see what my bp was when it went off but it only had the diastolic reading (botom one ) wondering if it was because i had took it out of pouch that it didnt show the systolic reading (top one) bet when i go back tomorrow i have to wear it for another 24 hrs just my luck

Hubby has had one of these on a couple of occasions. As far as I'm aware they don't show results that the patient can interpret but store up all the readings and then are checked by the Doctor/Nurse Practitioner and results collated. Hubby was then called in at a later date for further consultation. They are a real pain when they go off during the night....Good Luck!!!!

I have had this more than once, when you go to bed try and put the actual thing on the floor if the pipe is long enough. If it is one that goes off every half hour, I managed to slip off the cuff to have a shower before it went off, and if I'm not mistaken it's every hour at night ( if you're lucky). It's not that bad, best of!

I had one before and all the actual results were inside - I was not to see what the readings were as that could worry me and get my bp up, got the results a few days after handing it back if I remember correctly.
