Hi 

I was given a blood pressure monitor to take my own readings for three days at three times a day,returned it to the surgery and now have been told the readings are there but because i have not enclosed a paper with my readings written down the doctor can not accept them ,no one told me to write the readings down and why would i when they are registered on the machine ???she wants me to do it all again so i am very confused over this and can not get a sensible answer from the receptionist .

thank you in advance of reply's

    I think that maybe the reason is that if the last persons readings hadn't been deleted and you hadn't done the test then you could use there results, only reason I can think of any way, I had to do the same so they could do an average.

    Want hurt to do it again so you get the right results.

    Hope all goes well

    My gp gave me a chart which I photo copied and each time I go for a check up I fill it in for her. She can then see at a glance all the numbers, instead of individually as you would on the monitor.

    I've tried to copy the chart I was given but don't know if you can see it or not.
