How often should I check my Blood Pressure ?

[Elizbeth]

My blood pressure is giving me more concern now than ever before and I am not sure how often I should seek medical attention about it or should I just keep taking care of it the best way I can at home. I don't want to rely on self-medication too much and at the same time, I don't want to be too frequent in the hospitals, I dislike going to hospitals, the whole environment and patients naturally make me sick or let me just assume I have a phobia for hospitals.

Hi, There are blood pressure apps you can download and use to check your blood pressure, heart rate and all. But we can't be 100% sure if the reading is perfect, but you can at least get a rough idea, Or you can buy a smartwatch which reads your blood pressure, etc, which will be the best option out of all. But make sure the device is trusted and working perfectly.

As often as possible, make sure you check daily. But a sudden spike doesn't automatically mean that your bp has risen. It could be as a result of the activity.

If you are not suffering from a blood pressor problem then it is of no use to check it now and then. Just check during your half-yearly or yearly medical examinations. If you want to check your BP frequently, you can use wearable health bands that provide readings of other body organs in addition to blood pressure.

I think you should check it regularly or as soon as you are observing but you're not feeling the way you should.

The first measurement should be in the morning before eating or taking any medications, and the second in the evening. Each time you measure, take two or three readings to make sure your results are accurate.

At first, take your blood pressure twice a day for a week. The best times are early in the morning (before you have taken any blood pressure medications) and again in the evening. After you've done this for a week, once or twice a month—or whatever your doctor recommends—is fine.

You should check your blood pressure daily to help you know the level. And the best time to do that is early in the morning before eating anything.

Daily is just impossible. May be weekly...

Daily? Is that when you have the diagnosis machine at home?

I think you just need to see a doctor once and get recommendations which you will follow yourself without going anywhere else, don't worry.

I do check mine at least once a week because it tends to fluctuate often. So, to be on the safe side, I choose to be checking it every week.
