Blood pressure should be monitored for every 6 months or it will increase the risk of stroke and heart attack because it has no symptoms. High BP can cause strain on the blood vessels that make them to clog up or to weaken. This leads to narrowed blood vessels and clots that can cause damage to heart, brain and kidney. Low BP can cause inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs that leads to dizziness, nausea, light-headedness/fainting or temporary loss of consciousness.

Standing up dizzy?

Dizziness when standing occurs due to low blood pressure. The body is at rest and upon standing the heart needs to pump faster to supply more pressure. The dizziness is the moment leading up to when the proper blood pressure is reached. This is not normally something to be concerned about. However if it continues to happen, you should get your blood pressure checked at your doctor.
