Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your
blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes
in your values early and react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure,
keep a record of values along with time of day and date.
Show these values to your physician. Never use the results of your
measurements to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by
your physician.
