What time of day to take your blood pressure

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Jan 21 2008

Q: How often should I take my blood pressure measurements? Every day or once a week? Morning or Night?

A: How often you need to take your blood pressure depends upon many factors including whether you have pre-hypertension, controlled hypertension, or uncontrolled hypertension. Ask your doctor how frequently you need to be monitored. Early morning high blood pressure has been associated with a greater risk of stroke.
