    General Notes on Taking your Own Blood Pressure You should take your blood pressure twice daily, in the mor- ning and in the evening, each time in relaxed state. Since physical exertions such as sports, but also eating, smo- king and drinking of alcohol, influence the blood pressure va- lues, you should always avoid these before taking your blood pressure.
