How often is it appropriate for people with high blood pressure risk to measure their blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me how often high-risk individuals for hypertension should measure their blood pressure for it to be considered appropriate?

Doctor's answer:

If high blood pressure occurs again and the blood pressure is relatively stable, it is generally recommended to measure blood pressure once a week. If the blood pressure is unstable, it is advised to measure blood pressure every three days. It is necessary to take appropriate antihypertensive medication under the guidance of a doctor, which helps control the disease. Rest more in daily life, avoid overexertion, maintain a proper diet, and prevent the recurrence of various diseases, which is beneficial for your health.
