Kept awake by it

Had this done twice, not a problem. Is it uncomfortable ? There is nothing in the procedure which should keep you awake.

I have never had a problem but I can sleep through most things.

I have "white coat" syndrome so my GP agreed that I could take my BP at home on an approved machine (it's just like the ones they have in the surgery). I keep a chart and periodically give the surgery reception a printout for my file. It's always OK at home but sky high near a medic!

I’ve had it twice but can’t remember it keeping me awake. Another one tomorrow, incidentally. I’m being checked out for a long series of recurrent infections and an inordinate amount of lethargy. The tiredness is being called post viral syndrome but how long is it meant to last I wonder?

oh dear - are you sure you're not anaemic bellanonna?

DH had it several years ago and it kept him awake just by being there he was conscious of it and it got in the way of free movement.

I had to wear a PAD heart monitor for a month in July and then again in September. I hated wearing it at night.I tried wearing a bra to attach it to but found it very uncomfortable.My biggest problem was that it kept setting itself off without me touching it and I couldn't switch it off.Very embarrassing when shopping. I had to pretend it wasn't me !!Took it back and found that the battery was on the blink.

No Fennel the iron part of the blood test was okay.
