Take Blood Pressure in the Afternoon
After the morning, the blood pressure keeps increasing during the day and reaches the highest level in the afternoon, around 16 to 18. Therefore, it is not recommended to take your blood pressure during this time of the day. Nevertheless, some studies have shown that afternoon results may still give us some valuable insights. For instance, testing blood pressure when it is highest may help determine who can be at risk for some heart problems. [5]
