Most Important Things to Know:
When you worry about checking your blood pressure, you're not alone. Many people feel nervous. Your body reacts to these feelings. This can make your blood pressure go up.
​
Your blood pressure changes all day. A higher reading when you're nervous doesn't mean your blood pressure is high.
​
You can take steps to feel less nervous. You may notice some days are worse than others. That's okay! Try your best to stick with it.

Remember:
-
Your feelings are valid. It's normal to be worried about your health.
-
Knowledge is power. Understanding your blood pressure can help you take charge of your health.
-
You're in control. You decide when and how to check your blood pressure.
