You cannot accurately check blood pressure without a blood pressure machine
You can only look for possible signs that may suggest high or low blood pressure
Check for symptoms such as headache, dizziness, blurred vision, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting
Feel your pulse and note if it seems unusually fast, slow, weak, or irregular
Watch for swelling, fatigue, confusion, or cold, clammy skin
If you suspect abnormal blood pressure, use a validated home monitor, pharmacy kiosk, or clinic measurement
Seek urgent medical care for chest pain, severe headache, fainting, trouble breathing, or stroke-like symptoms
