You should definitely keep an eye on your blood pressure every once in a while because there no symptoms of high blood pressure until it's way too late (kidney damage for example). Even if you are too lazy to go to the doctor, at least in the US you can find blood pressure monitors frequently installed in the pharmacy area of your nearest Safeway, Walmart, etc. If it's been more than a few months and I run into one of these things I sit down and take my blood pressure just to see how it is. If it's a bit high on first read I will repeat the test two more times. This usually gives my body a chance to relax to make sure that I get an accurate reading. If your blood pressure spikes a lot when you are stressed that's good to know too. For example I've found that when I drink coffee my blood pressure reacts to stress a lot stronger than when I don't drink coffee.
