When is the best time out of the day to check blood pressure?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Blood pressure: Blood pressure varies throughout the day. In general it is higher in the am and when most active, it is generally lower in the pm when most inactive. One BP measurement tells you only the BP at that particular time on that particular day.
