Home BP checks — if yours runs high

What it is

For elevated or diagnosed BP only: a validated cuff, seated after 5 min rest; 7-day runs before visits, 1–2 sessions/week stable.

every week · from 18

Always on

1. Two readings a minute apart, morning and evening, for the 7-day runs; bring the log, not one number.
2. Home readings unmask white-coat and masked hypertension — that is why doctors trust them.
