IF NORMAL ONCE A WEE: If it is well controlled and normal every time you check, you can check at most once a week or if you have any symptoms do not have to check daily or 10 times a day.It will serve no purpose.

Hide your cuff: Take your BP cuff and stick it in the bottom of a drawer and go do something fun. On the first day of each month, check it at 9 am and 9 pm (or whatever time you like) at complete rest. Write the numbers down. Then forget them till next month. Do this unless your doctor tells you otherwise. You're 29 - there's so much more to life than bp!
