You should check your blood pressure at home at least once a day, three to five times a week. Two to three measurements a day would be ideal, but at least one, at different times of the day, is okay. The morning blood pressure may be different than the afternoon blood pressure, which may be different than the evening blood pressure.
Sometimes, people make mistakes in testing at home. Bring your home unit to your appointment and show it to your doctor to make sure itâs operating correctly. Make sure your arm cuff is the appropriate size for you. When you take readings at home, start by sitting quietly for five minutes. Then, be sure your back is supported, your feet are on the ground, and your arm is at heart level to get an accurate blood pressure reading. Misreadings can also happen at your doctorâs office, says Dr. Thomas.
