Blood Pressure - How I Monitor Mine
Every Day
Every day, now, I get up, stick my arm into a cuff and press the button on the pump
The Mean
After the first month, I brought in my sheets and showed my doctor. I was terrified that I was going to be given bad news. There was none. In fact, he said my numbers were really good and that I just needed to keep taking the pill and monitoring the blood pressure.
He said that the most important consideration was the mean, or average. Like a bowling average. Mine is currently 114/80, which - according to Google, means my blood pressure is on the high side of normal.
Whew!
