A member asked:

Hello! just wanted to ask if taking your blood pressure frequently (daily) would affect my upper extremity arteries/veins in any way? secondly, my blood pressure ranges from 120/80-140/90 depending on stress. average is 133/84 overall. thoughts? thx?

No need to do it: You do not need to check your BP everyday. It will not do any harm as long as you do not inflate the cuff too tightly or for too long. Your blood pressure seems to be in normal range. Limit your salt intake, maintain healthy weight and exercise at least 150 minutes per week, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
