Why do we need to monitor blood pressure at home?
By monitoring at home, you may manage your health between doctor visits.
Home monitoring also provides you with a record of blood pressure measurements
over time to give your doctor - a valuable tool in hypertensive monitoring.
Home monitoring may also alleviate white coat hypertension.
This term refers to the phenomena which causes individuals’ blood pressure to be
higher when taken in a medical office setting. This is due to the stress of being
in a medical office setting which may cause blood pressure to rise higher
than normal. When monitoring at home, you may get a more accurate
measurement of your blood pressure in a normal, relaxed state.
