occupational drivers since patients will be asked not to move during BP measurements, which may induce potential danger in driving
taking anti-coagulants to avoid causing bruises when using ABPM
known atrial fibrillation since ABPM use has not been validated in this group
known hyperkalemia
ABPM discovered hypotension (mean SBP \< 100 and/or mean DBP \< 60) because these patients may need to stop their medications
