How do you measure your own blood pressure?

Gaurang Gujarathi, DO, an AMITA Health cardiologist based in Bourbonnais, IL, reveals the best time to take your blood pressure — and how often to do it. To make sure your readings are useful to your doctor, measure your blood pressure only once or twice per day. More than that, and the stress of worrying about your blood pressure could cause it to spike. But since blood pressure tends to change over the course of the day, you’ll also want to take it at a different time each day. Also, make sure you are using the cuff correctly to get an accurate reading.
