I'm a believer: U need omron wrist blood pressure cuff/ verified as accurate; that brand usually is. There are 9 time zones in the day (before and after meals = 6) & in between meals/bedtime. Check your BP about twice a day. In gen'l, if you have no health issues it should be 125/75 or less in all quiet normal activities. BP can go up in a doctor's office = "white coat" = means less. www.thepmc.org.

Hello! I recently had an annual exam with a blood pressure of 136/76 which the nurse said was good. They didnt say anything else. I looked up the numbers online and 136 seems high. In the past couple of years my systolic numbers have been 118 and 128. Im 33 years old with a vegetarian diet. Wondering if the recent quarantine sedentary habits have contributed to higher systolic BP. What is your advice? Thanks! Blood pressure
