24h blood pressure monitoring

Hi everyone,

im forced to do a 24h blood pressure monitoring for the army, because i have a very high blood pressure (about 150-180 to 80-90), but there is a big problem. I do have a blood pressure fetish, and every time i do it i get at least a semi-errect penis.

I've had a cardiologic exam where my bp was measured on both arms and legs at the same time. I really enjoyed the feeling cuz it pumped up 2 times and last at least one minute. What does this type of measurement do? And the doctor said i had to do a long term blood pressure measurement for 24 hours. Honestly this was a dream of mine because i really enjoy the feeling of the cuff squeezes my arm, but i know, that the measurement results will be extremely high because of my fetish.

Actually i often thought about to buy me a 24h blood pressure monitor and set it up to pump up every 5 minutes and let it pump up very high.

Does anyone here feels the same or had done a 24hours blood pressure monitoring yet?

Should i say something to my doctor?

Do you know bp machines that pump up automatically in defined periods? Or maybe machines which will do this on arms and legs at the same time?

Do you know other clinical measurement methods which feels similar than taking bp?

Thanks, Philipp

I'm definitely no expert on this, but it sounds like you might be referring to a holter monitor. It's like a little, portable EKG that monitors you for 24 hrs to up to 30 days, depending on your issues. There are leads that attach to your chest and a little portable box you can wear on your belt, or in a mini sling over your shoulder. I believe it monitors your heartbeat and rhythm and who knows what else. At the end of your monitoring, you return the little box to the hospital and they study your results.

I'm not saying there isn't one, but I have never heard of an actual 24 bp monitor that you actually strap on your arm and automatically inflates over and over that you wear out into the real world. Obviously, they use those things in the hospital when you are mostly confined to bed and a controlled environment. That would be very obtrusive and inconvenient in most day to day lives.

No its automatic bp monitoring inflates cuff every 30 mins during day and every hour at night not very comfortable say the lest was gladwhen 24hours were up

The last time I was in the hospital they cut way back on my bp meds from what my Dr. had prescribed. From 50mg twice a day to 12 1/2 twice a day. Those tiny pills are scored to make them easy to break in half. What a joke, I can't even get hold of them. I have to use a pill cutter and then they break into pieces.

They’re very common for managing hypertension. Someone could even get their own unit on Amazon for not too much.

Hi everyone,

ive had my 24h blood pressure monitoring in the last two days and i really enjoyed it. it pumped up to 230-250 mmhg every time every 15 minutes and two times to 300 cuz i moved my arm during measurement. The systolic was at 160 - 200mmhg most of the time, witch sucks.

Now im really close to buy me my own 24h blood pressure monitor. I think it will be the Pulox ABDM-50 cuz you get it around 200 Bucks but im not shure if i can use any type of cuff. I really enjoied the feeling of the one from boso i had (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B008S4JDYY/) but this one is expensive and im not shure it works correctly with the device.

Are u experienced with using 24h blood pressure devices at home? Witch cuff do u use? Witch time intervals do u use during the inflations?

I've bought several off of ebay through the years. I got a Welch Allyn Quiet Trak with the original case, paperwork, 2 cuffs, cuff anchoring straps....Patient Diaries...Everything but the software/transfer cable. Works great, but without the software or means to DL the info, it just isn't nearly as fun as it could be. Got it for $25, I think. Dirt cheap. Still fun, but I'm on the lookout for Cardisoft software.

Hey and good evening,

First of all, welcome to the small circle of like-minded people with a passion for measuring blood pressure.

Anyone who joins the army must also undergo a physical examination. This is where you are put through your paces. Of course, your blood pressure is also measured during the examination.

You were given a so-called ABI index measurement. This involves measuring your blood pressure on both upper arms and both ankles. The values obtained are then used to calculate the so-called Ankle Brachial Index, i.e. the quotient between the arm and ankle. This quotient must not fall below or exceed a certain range.

If the blood pressure exceeds or falls below certain values, the medical officer can order a 24-hour LZ-RR measurement, which was probably carried out in your case.

If you would like to purchase such an LZ-RR measuring device, then I recommend that you go to sites such as Ebay or specialist retail sites. There are already good LZ-RR measuring devices for a few hundred euros/dollars.

I recommend the LZ-RR meters from BoSo, which are very good. Otherwise, I can recommend the devices from Schiller. It is also possible to buy an LZ-RR meter from the USA. In addition, there are the respective programs that you can use to make settings and evaluate your measured values.

I warn against devices from China and Asian countries in general, such as India or other countries. Although they do what they are supposed to do, the settings and programs are usually only available in the language of the country where these devices are manufactured. In addition, the materials are very fragile and break quite quickly.

Another option for checking your blood pressure over a longer period of time would be proper patient monitors. These not only measure blood pressure, but also heart rate, pulse, oxygen saturation, respiration and body temperature. However, such monitors are very expensive.

However, there are also stationary patient monitors that only monitor blood pressure and pulse. In the past, Critikon monitors were often found in ambulances, but today you often see monitors from Dinamap or Welch Allyn.

As you can see, there are many ways to get hold of such measuring devices. There is also quite a large selection of devices and manufacturers. From small pocket devices, to larger and stationary monitors, to the large monitors used in hospitals. You are welcome to keep us up to date on which measuring device and which manufacturer you have chosen.

Best regards and all the best to you.

Hi,

today i got a call from my doctor. He told me that there was an error in the reading and so i have to repeat the measurement. He set up the device and im allowed to put it on my arm by my self in the next days, so its my decision when i start the measurements. I have to bring it back on monday. Im really excited for the next time.

Have u ever had a 24h blood pressure measurement, with the same problem?

@David_Daiki Ive had the Boso TM-2430. Have you ever tried this device?

Best, Philipp

Good evening Philipp,

On the one hand, I'm very sorry that you have to have this examination carried out again. On the other hand, I find it very upsetting that you have to undergo this examination again. I didn't know that the doctors in Austria leave it up to you to decide when the examination should be carried out. Here in Germany you get a fixed appointment and then the examination is carried out on that day.

I have had to have many LZ-RR measurements carried out in my life. I had been given very different LZ-RR measuring devices from different manufacturers. A BoSo LZ-RR measuring device was certainly already on my arm. But I have also had other manufacturers on my arm. It always depends on the doctor's practice which LZ-RR monitor you get.

I would like to point out that you are welcome to write to me via direct/private messages. I cordially invite you to visit my profile and then contact me. Then we can also talk in German. In addition, you are welcome to open a thread in the German language area, or write one or the other post in the German language area.

Best regards

I've had a cardiologic exam where my bp was measured on both arms and legs at the same time.

Very nice! What was this exam for? Was it done by the army doctors?
