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.

-
Knowledge is power. Understanding your blood pressure can help you take charge of your health.
