Monitoring & Readings
How to Measure Blood Pressure at Home
Medical note: Do not stop or change prescribed medication based on this website or a commercial wellness program. Seek urgent medical care for severe or concerning symptoms.
Home monitoring is useful only when the measurement is reasonably accurate.
Before measuring
Follow the instructions for your validated upper-arm monitor, sit quietly, position yourself correctly and avoid rushing the process.
Keep a record
Log readings with dates and times so your healthcare team can interpret patterns rather than isolated numbers.
