Your Blood Pressure Monitor

How Often Should I Check My Blood Pressure?

This can vary by your health condition and needs. Most patients check once daily (fasting) or twice daily (fasting and after a meal). If you are unsure, follow your provider’s instructions or contact the care team.

• During the first few weeks, take one reading each day unless instructed otherwise.

• Try to take your reading around the same time each day.

• If possible, take your reading about 1 hour after taking your blood pressure medication, unless your provider has given you different instructions.

• Consistent readings help your care team understand what is normal for you.

A note about these guidelines

The information below reflects our most common recommendations. Your provider or care team may give you specific instructions that are different — always follow their guidance first. If you have questions about how or when to take your readings, call the care team.

For The Most Accurate Reading

• Avoid caffeine, smoking, or physical activity for at least 30 minutes beforehand.

• Sit quietly and rest for 5 minutes before taking your reading.

• Keep both feet flat on the floor.

• Rest your arm at heart level.

• Avoid talking during the reading.

If a reading seems unusual, wait a few minutes and repeat it. If still unusual for you, call the care team.
