When you have concerns about your blood pressure, taking home blood pressure measurements can become important. Most people only get their blood pressure checked when they go to the doctor.
However, that may not be enough to determine if you have healthy blood pressure. Taking your blood pressure over a long period of time will give you a better indication of where it is. You could have a high blood pressure measurement once, but that doesn’t mean you have hypertension.
Many factors can contribute to having an incident of high blood pressure. For example, many people have high blood pressure when they go to the doctor because they’re nervous about the appointment.
You might also have a high blood pressure reading if you’ve been exerting yourself physically of if you’re in the middle of a stressful experience. If you have a high blood pressure reading, regular home blood pressure measurements can help you to decide if you’ve had an isolated incident or there’s something to be concerned about.
Purchasing a home blood pressure monitor can help you to take regular measurements to see if there’s a pattern. You’ll want to take your blood pressure daily to see if it’s high all the time or just every once in a while.
Make sure that when you take your blood pressure you’re seated properly. You need to have good posture and sit straight up. It’s also important to make sure your body is at rest. You may even want to sit for a few minutes before you take a measurement.
If you start to notice that your blood pressure is frequently above 120/80, you’ll want to take that information to your doctor. It helps to write down your blood pressure in a log each time you take it. You can then take that information with you to your medical appointment.
Getting to know your own body is a critical part of taking charge of your health. If you want to have a healthy heart, it begins with knowing some basic information such as your own blood pressure.
When you go to the doctor, you’ll want to make sure you discuss all of your options. If your blood pressure is very high, you may need medication. But if it’s only mildly or moderately high there may be lifestyle interventions to help you lower it.
Taking charge of your health is critical so that you can have energy and a long life. By taking hoe blood pressure measurements you’ll get one step closer to understanding your body and making good health choices.
