medical profressionals: how often should I monitor blood pressure?
I’m a 39 year old prone to borderline high blood pressure. I am already on a beta-blocker to control it. It’s partially due to heredity and partially stress and anxiety. I’m in otherwise great health. I’m wondering how often I need to check my blood pressure at home to monitor it? I was doing it daily, but then read that it was harmful to do it this often. Thanks in advance.
You can check your blood pressure as often as you like as it’s not harmfull. I check mine once a day, in the evening after I’ve been sitting for a while and quite relaxed. If you feel any change in your physical condition then check it more often, but wait at least 5 minutes after you change body position to check..
