Managing High Blood Pressure After Remote Monitoring Ends
If your remote blood pressure monitoring through Cadence has recently ended, you may be wondering what comes next.
After remote monitoring ends, you should continue taking your medications as prescribed and follow heart-healthy habits like limiting salt and staying active. Contact your doctor if you feel unwell or if your blood pressure rises above your goal.
You have worked hard to keep your blood pressure in a healthy range. Managing high blood pressure (also called hypertension) is an ongoing process. Even though Cadence may no longer be receiving your readings, taking care of your blood pressure is still very important.
How Can I Keep My Blood Pressure Under Control After Remote Monitoring Ends?
The same habits that helped you reach your goal will help you stay there. Here are a few key ways to stay in control.
Limit salt and processed foods
Too much salt can raise your blood pressure. Try cooking more meals at home, choosing fresh ingredients when possible, and checking nutrition labels for sodium content.
Stay active most days of the week
Movement helps your heart stay strong. A 20–30 minute walk, gardening, light biking, or even walking around the house all count. You don’t need intense workouts to see benefits.

Maintain a healthy weight
If your doctor has talked with you about weight, small steps can help. Even losing a few pounds can lower blood pressure. Focus on steady changes instead of quick fixes.
Limit alcohol
Alcohol can raise blood pressure and affect your medications. If you drink, do so in moderation and follow your clinician’s guidance.
Prioritize sleep
Your body repairs itself during sleep. Try going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. Keep your bedroom quiet and dark if you can.Talk to your clinician if you experience ongoing sleep issues.
Manage stress
Stress affects your body in real ways. Whether it’s deep breathing, time outdoors, prayer, meditation, or connecting with loved ones, find what helps you reset.
Continue Taking Medications as Prescribed
Blood pressure medications work best when taken consistently. Even if your numbers are stable, do not stop or change medications unless directed by your clinician.
If you ever have questions about side effects, dosing, or timing, reach out to your provider before making changes.
When Should I Call My Doctor About High Blood Pressure?
Call your doctor if:
- Your blood pressure readings are often higher than your goal
- You feel dizzy, lightheaded, or unwell
- You have questions about your medications
If something does not feel right, call.
Keep Moving Forward
Reaching your blood pressure goal is an important milestone. Maintaining it is an ongoing process.
Your primary care team remains your main source of support. If your health needs change in the future, remote monitoring may be an option again.
In the meantime, the habits you’ve built are powerful. Keep going — your heart will thank you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can high blood pressure come back after it improves?
Yes. High blood pressure (hypertension) is usually a lifelong condition. Even if your numbers have been in a healthy range, they can rise again over time. That’s why ongoing healthy habits and regular medical visits are important.
Why did my remote blood pressure monitoring end?
In many cases, remote monitoring ends because health plan coverage changes after a period of stable readings. This does not mean your condition has gone away. Managing high blood pressure remains important, and your primary care team continues to support you.
What happens if my blood pressure increases again in the future?
If your blood pressure rises above your goal or you begin feeling unwell, contact your doctor. Your care team can review your medications, lifestyle plan, and next steps. In some cases, remote monitoring may become an option again if your health needs change.
