To satisly myself about my bp, I monitored it at home once a day for about 6 months and I found it to be near 130/80 most of the time. Other than that, the only time my bp is monitored on a consistant basis is if I am a hospital patient.

Under those circumstances it tends to be high. The most common reason I wind up as a hospital patient is severe migraine, a chronic condition which sends my bp throught the roof. I am almost always discharged with instructions to see my primary about my bp but once I am out of the hospital and feeling ok, the bp normalizes.
