24 Hour Blood Pressure monitoring is now available. The device can be fitted on a Wednesday morning and taken off the following morning. It is is worn continuously during this time – please note you must not let any water near it so we ask you not to shower during this period of time. This is a small inconvenience for a very useful test. The cost is 80 Euro for a private patient and 60 for Medical Card patients – these prices compare very favourably with local private hospitals.
When you return to have it removed – our nurse Elaine will go through the readings fully with you. If it is found your Blood Pressure requires attention our GPs will check these readings – and if necessary you will have a brief GP consultation (30 Euro) to lifestyle changes and if there is a need for medication.
Please phone 7979080 on a Wednesday or Thursday between 12.30pm and 1pm to speak to Elaine.
