“What's the best way to take my blood pressure at home?”
I have issues with high blood pressure, and I want to keep it in check so that it doesn't cause any complications. I want to start taking my blood pressure at home to monitor. What's the best way to really do this?

Buy a decent WRIST BP MONITOR from CVS or WALGREENS, etc. Pay about $40-$50 for a decent one, and then follow directions and measure your BP in both your R and L arms, and also while sitting and standing. Whatever arm has the HIGHEST measurement is the one to pay most attention to. You want your BP to AVERAGE 120-125/70-80 or LESS (the monitor will be able to give you an AVERAGE measurement). The monitor will also measure your pulse rate.
