It lowers your risk of stroke, heart failure and other serious conditions. High blood pressure sometimes has no signs. Checking it often can help find issues early and make sure you get the right care. Correct readings matter. They help your doctor decide if you need medicine or other changes. When checking your blood pressure at home, sit quietly for a few minutes first. Keep both feet flat on the floor, and rest your arm at heart level. Use the right cuff size so your reading is correct. Blood pressure monitors are covered for Alliance members. Eligible Medi‑Cal members can get a monitor at no cost through AllCare Pharmacy, and it can be mailed to your home. Talk to your doctor to learn more.
