Q
When should | measure my blood pressure?
A. We recommend that you measure your blood pressure 3
times a day.
First time:
When you get up in the morning. (This is when your
blood pressure is most typical of its value during the
night and when the movements of your body have
had hardly any effect on it.)
Second time: Before eating lunch. (This is when your blood pressure
is not affected by food and when it is most typical of the
highest level of the day.)
Third time:
When you go to bed at night. (This data value is
roughly typical of the average blood pressure value
for the day.)
Get to know your blood pressure pattern by measuring
your blood pressure in the morning,at midday and in the
late evening, and use the data you obtain to manage your
blood pressure.
