Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Few times: Few times a week, different times in the day and with symptoms, not otherwise explained, such as headache, chest pain, blurred vision, etc. The technique and timing, allowing for the blood pressure to settle, are very important.
