Benefits of Measuring Your Own Blood
Pressure Only a Blood Pressure Monitor can
constantly monitor your blood pressure. There are
many types and models of blood pressure monitors,
so choose carefully. Monitor your blood pressure
throughout the day if you have high blood
pressure. So you can actively care for your
health and easily determine what treatment you
need. Digital blood pressure monitors are
affordable and easy to use. When you buy one,
visit your doctor so he can show you how to use
it. This is necessary to avoid inaccurate
measurements. Blood pressure measurements vary
for everyone, so don't be alarmed if some of
yours are high this is normal. If these high
results keep repeating, call your doctor
immediately. It's typical for blood pressure
monitor readings to be lower than usual on
occasion. If you want accurate results, sit
on a hard surface while measuring. Remember,
measuring your blood pressure at home
is to lower it. This patient self-
measurement occurs outside a clinical
environment. Blood Pressure monitoring helps
doctors detect and manage hypertension while
including people. This method improves
hypertension patients' adherence and
health. Self-measured blood pressure predicts
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
better than office BP. Blood measurement is
more accurate than office blood pressure
readings for diagnosing and treating
hypertension. Self-measurements provide more
BP readings over a more extended period, which
is more accurate. Using more dependable blood
pressure readings makes you less likely to
misdiagnose a patient with persistent
hypertension when they have "white coat
hypertension." This notion pertains to assessing
hypertension control. More accurate and
dependable readings allow doctors to determine
a patient's antihypertensive medication. If it's
not controlled, a doctor can act more quickly
since several readings over several
days are more trustworthy than a few
measurements during a single office visit. The

  • Taking your blood pressure at the same
    time each day is key to understanding your
    blood pressure. It can help make sure that the
    readings you take arent affected by the events
    of your day.
  • You can select times when you know youll be home
    and are unlikely to be interrupted. For example,
    you could check your blood pressure before you
    leave for work when you get home from work, and
    before bed.
  • Factors that can affect your readings
  • There are a few general rules to be aware of
    when it comes to timing your blood pressure
    reading.
  • For example, its not a good idea to take your
    blood pressure immediately after you wake up, as
    this may not give you the most accurate reading.
    Instead, aim to check it when youve been up for
    about half an hour.
  • Its also best not to wait until
    after breakfast and your morning coffee
    since both food and caffeine Trusted sources
    can raise your blood pressure. Ideally, morning
    blood pressure can be taken after you brush your
    teeth, shower, and get dressed but before you eat
    or leave for work.
  • Food and caffeine arent the only things that can
    cause your blood pressure to spike. There are
    several other everyday things that can make your
    blood pressure rise.
  • No matter what time of day you take your blood
    pressure, its best to avoid these things for at
    least half an hour before you take a reading
  • smoking or using tobacco
  • exercising
  • consuming alcohol
  • Its also a good idea to take your
    blood pressure with a recently emptied
    bladder. Thus, the blood pressure monitors in
    India measured from the comfort of their homes
    thus helps in reducing blood pressure.
