To  control high blood pressure, also called HBP or hypertension, it is recommended that monitoring blood pressure at home can be helpful in addition to regular monitoring in a healthcare provider’s office. Your doctor may recommend that you monitor your blood pressure at home if:

You have been diagnosed with pre-hypertension

You have been diagnosed with hypertension

You have risk factors for high blood pressure

Some people experience anxiety when at a doctor’s office, which leads to temporarily higher readings. This condition is known as white-coat hypertension. At the other extreme, some individuals have normal readings in a professional’s office but elevated readings outside the office. This condition is often referred to as reverse white-coat hypertension or masked hypertension.

Such false readings can lead to over-diagnosis or misdiagnosis of HBP. Self-measurement at home is good to reveal whether your blood pressure reading in the doctor’s office is correct.
