Why Is Home Blood Pressure Measurement Valuable?
If you measure your blood pressure routinely, you will be able to detect any gradual changes in your blood pressure. This is important if you have blood pressure that is above normal, or if you are, or even think you might be, at risk for high blood pressure. If you find your blood pressure is slowly increasing you can seek treatment and make lifestyle changes, and reduce your blood pressure before it gets too high and starts to cause damage to the body. If there is a sudden change in your blood pressure, which is not just one reading but persists over several readings you can get evaluated immediately.
