when is the best time to measure one's blood pressure?

Answer 1

Depends why you are taking it. For follow-up do like the hospital and you should take weight, bp, temperature first thing in the morning. If you are on blood pressure meds or the doctor thinks you might need to be you need to take it at various times throughout the day. Just remember to rest a few minutes before taking it. Blood pressure will vary some during the day so you want to know highs and lows so you aren't put on too much or not enough medication. If it goes too low you are liable to find yourself meeting the ground.
