What is the Best Time of Day to Take Blood Pressure?

How Often Should You Take Your Blood Pressure?

Depending on your health condition, your healthcare provider will advise you on the frequency of taking blood pressure. Those people with good health and stable blood pressure do not have to do it more than one time per day. In contrast, those people who have high blood pressure or who are taking medications to control their blood pressure should do this frequently, ideally two times a day. If you just start to monitor blood pressure, it is recommended to take 2 or 3 readings consecutively each time. By doing this, you can make sure accurate results and reduce the risk of errors. [2]
