Yes it squeezes your arm, like it does when you have your blood pressure taken by a person. Is there a reason why you don't like it? My Mum was woken up by it at first, but then was able to ignore it the second half of the night and slept through it.

I know that you don't like it, but can you get through it by telling yourself that it's important to know what your blood pressure is doing? You wouldn't have to do the 24hr test if your doc didn't think it was important, but you also need to stay calm throughout the test because if you freak out every time it takes your BP, then your readings will be unnaturally high. I'm disappointed that the doc who asked for this test didn't explore these concerns with you beforehand
