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.
