10. Monitor Your Blood Pressure At Home Regularly

Cleveland Clinic

If you have been diagnosed with hypertension or are at risk, it’s important to do home monitoring to keep tabs on your levels. If you are already in the process of attempting to lower your blood pressure, this is also one way to know if your efforts are actually working, while also being able to know when you need to contact your doctor if your levels are higher than normal. There are a number of blood pressure monitors that are available in stores and online that you can use at home. Be sure to speak with your doctor about the proper way to use your monitor, as well as how often he or she expects you to take your blood pressure levels. It helps to keep a small notebook to write down your blood pressure levels whenever you take them.
