Hi from Today hospital has asked me to record daily blood pressure, pulse rate and weight. And then they message no action needed. Bit for some strange reason they ate not getting the point these snap shots of my health don't actually tell the story of what is actually going on. Ecg are more or less normal, 24 holter same. Is there another method available that would tell them the true state of affairs. Because at moment only Echocadiogram shown the true extent of the damage to my heart but of course that cannot be done daily

Maybe a 24 hour blood pressure monitor would be the way to go? Can you request it or do they have to refer you for one?

I could ask gp as they did my last one

but the figures you are supplying them give a baseline figure against which they can compare future, or past, readings. Nothing wrong with that?

No there's nothing wrong with it, but my frustration is I have severe Heart Failure but my baseline shows normal heart

Hi Shabana! My name is Martijn and I'm a medical doctor working with Luscii. Just wanted to let you know that there is a possibility to measure ECG's on a daily basis. Also, if other factors are also a better predictor for your state of health then there's a good chance that this can be captured in a question or questionnaire. Probably best to reach out to your health care providers and let them know!
