Keep track of this for each of your annual or semi-annual doctor's visits and notice any changes. This can be an indication of a progressing condition.
Second, if there is any concern that you may have high blood pressure, or that you have a family history of it, invest in a home monitoring device. Some doctors may prescribe a blood pressure device for home use. Otherwise, most drug stores, online retailers and even local health stores carry them. Monitor your blood pressure at the same time daily for the best results.
