You can measure your blood pressure at home to help make sure that your medicines and lifestyle changes are working.
Home blood pressure monitors are available widely and without a prescription. Talk to a healthcare professional about home monitoring before you get started.
Regular visits with a healthcare professional also are key to controlling blood pressure. If your blood pressure is well controlled, ask your healthcare professional how often you need to check it. You might be able to check it only once a day or less often.
