Free blood pressure readings near you
One high reading doesn’t mean you have hypertension, and one normal reading doesn’t mean you don’t. That’s why it’s so important to check it regularly. You’ll get the most accurate readings at your doctor’s office, or at home using a blood pressure monitoring device. But there are other places you can go to get it checked. Ask if blood pressure readings are available at:
- Your nearby pharmacy or drug store
- Your neighborhood fire station
- Your local hospital
