if im on blood presure tablets how often should i have my blood presure checked?

Answer 1

If controlled once every 6 months

Answer 2

About twice a year if the tablets are otherwise keeping it under control. You'll automatically have it checked when you go to renew your cycle of repeat prescriptions so pick another six months after. If you're not keen on this answer why not do soemthing less obvious and ask your GP? (lol).

Answer 3

I would check at leat 2 or 3 times a week if you have a monitor at home,just to keep up with how well the meds are working

Answer 4

If you are newly on antihypertensives, then every two weeks to a month, depending on the medication. Once stable and controlled on meds, every 6 months unless you have symptoms, or other health problems.

Answer 5

Buy yourself a blood pressure monitor from Argos, and do it every week, just to be on the safe side.
