Regular home readings can be valuable when obtained with an appropriate monitor and recorded consistently.
Before measuring
Rest for five minutes. Sit with your back supported, feet flat on the floor and your arm at heart level. Avoid talking during measurement.
Keep a record
Record the date, time, blood pressure values and pulse when available. Do not stop medicines or change dosages without medical advice.
What to do next
Speak with a qualified clinician to understand which options suit your situation. The site cannot assess symptoms or offer an online diagnosis.
