How Often you Need to Check Your Blood Pressure

This is very common question that my patients always ask me. Normally teen agers dont go for their blood pressure check routinely, often they ignore their sickness and dont go to doctor for blood pressure checkup. If you are not a patient of high blood pressure, you should have your blood pressure check at very early age of 10-13 atleast.  If found normal, then check BP at 18 years of age.
