Blood pressure
« on: June 04, 2016, 07:28:23 am »
Do you check your blood pressure daily or do you wait until you go to the doctor to get it checked? I have a machine at home and use to check mine, but to be honest, I no longer check it. I will get better and start checking it again.

I wait until I go to the doctor, even though my doctor told me to be checking it often. I can't afford the monitor.

I only have it checked at the doctors.  My blood pressure is always in the normal range, I'm very lucky that it is.

I have a home monitor that goes on my wrist.  I check it occasionally, it's always low.
My husband has high blood pressure & takes meds, that's why we have it.  He checks his frequently.

It doesn't concern me much.
As other things, it fluctuates during a day's time.
you cannot pin it down.

No, I generally run a low blood pressure, we have a monitor at home because hubby's is high and he is on medication, I may check once in a awhile or sometimes when I am in the grocery store I check at the machine located in the pharmacy; but generally just wait until I see the doctor.

I check my blood pressure whenever I go to the grocery store.  They have a "Higi" station near the pharmacy so I usually sit down and have it check while I'm there.  I've noticed that my high blood pressure is coming down since I began to increase potassium and reduce sodium. 
Have a great day!

I don't usually check my blood pressure (even though I have been diagnosed with HBP) because usually I take my daily dose of BP meds and it remains steady.  I usually can tell when it goes out of whack just by the way I feel and that's when I check it.

I check my BP every other day.  I just checked it last night and it was within the norm.

Only check it when I go to the doctor and it's always normal.  I have a monitor but haven't checked it at home in over three years.  Everyone in my family has high blood pressure and take medication.
