How Often To Check

  • Ideal: Measure paired blood pressure daily, mornings and evenings.

  • Paired readings: 3 minutes apart for accurate monitoring.

  • Minimum recommendation: Measure at least 3 days per week.

  • Flexibility: Measure more frequently if needed.

  • Discuss a paired reading plan with your care team or doctor.


Understanding Your Goals

  • Goals are based on baseline and health factors.

  • Variations are made for older adults, those with diabetes or kidney disease.

  • For most people, the goal is: first aim for <140/90, then <130/80, with "normal" <120/80.

  • Collaborate with your care team for personalized goal setting.
