Check BP often: In the clinical setting we can put a monitor on someone to randomly monitor BP over a day.A home technique is to get a dependable wrist BP monitor and check your BP several times a day at home or work. I don't know many who would medicate a 120/80 before trying a salt reduced diet/ reduced caffeine or nicotine and other lifestyle changes first.
