A member asked:
My cardiologist assistant said take blood pressure an hour after i take blood pressure medicine. is this a good time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good time: That is a good time. Also good idea to check later in the day. In fact, i counsel patients when beginning new meds to take their BP morning and night for about 2 weeks to get a feel for how their therapy is progressing.
