Why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?
It has been recommended by the Irish Heart Foundation that if you are over the age of 30, you should have your blood pressure checked at least every five years.
To get a proper idea of your real blood pressure, your doctor will find it important that you get readings of blood pressure over a period of time and during different times of the day.
So, when is the best time of day to take your blood pressure?
Doctors generally recommend following the ‘rule of 3’: ♦ 3 times in a row (@ 3-5 minute intervals) ♦ 3 times a day for ♦ 3 days
Because individual blood pressures vary greatly, it is important that you follow your doctor’s instructions when measuring & recording your blood pressure. Normally your blood pressure will rise while at work (exertion) and will be at its lowest during a sleep period. It is better to avoid measuring your blood pressure when you're under stress, have consumed caffeine or used a tobacco product in the past 30 minutes, or have recently exercised. So, taking your blood pressure is best done after you rest for at least 5 minutes.
