Pressure
Use a home blood pressure monitor and write down your results as instructed by your doctor.
Pulse
When you're completely at rest, check your 60-second heart rate. Count your heartbeat for 6 seconds and multiply by 10. Check it as often as your doctor tells you.

If you feel these symptoms, go to the emergency room or call 911:

  • Extra-fast heartbeat
