FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How long does a private blood pressure check take?
Your appointment usually takes about 10 minutes, including time to take the reading and explain what it means.
Do I need to do anything before my appointment?
If you can, avoid heavy exercise, smoking, or caffeine shortly beforehand and arrive a few minutes early so you can sit and relax.
What happens during the check?
You will sit comfortably while an upper-arm cuff measures your blood pressure, then you can talk through the result and any questions you have.
Will I get my result to take away?
Yes, you can take away your blood pressure reading so you can keep it for your own records or share it if needed.
My reading is different from the last time I checked it — is that normal?
It can be, because readings vary with stress, activity, caffeine, illness, and even time of day; if you are monitoring, taking readings in a similar way each time can help.
