Checking Your Blood Pressure Daily

After many weeks of a fairly normal blood pressure, I checked it today and it was abnormally High. I did nothing different so I could not put my finger down on what it is exactly. Work was lite so stress levels was down, so the normal reasons were out the window. I felt no symptoms and that is what is so scary.

Normally if my blood pressure is elevated I would immediately know because of the physical symptoms of headache or tension.

I called the Dr. for answers, he told me to take special note of the times of days I take my blood pressure and note that down. He said I should do that for a few days and take it at different times. Also important to note what is it I was doing at the time.

Look for a pattern, and on the times that it is elevated, continue for a couple more days, taking the pressure at exactly the same time to see if the level remains.

All, in all friends, take you pressure daily and note it on a note pads. Not the times also, and look for a pattern.

That's all for now
