TIPS FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS
Your blood pressure varies according to your posture, the time of day and a range of other
factors. Ideally, you should measure your blood pressure in the same posture at the same
time every day.
■ Taking measurements while sitting
1 Place your arm on a table or similar surface with
your forearm extended.
2 It is important to have the arm cuff level with
your heart.
3 Open your hand slightly on the table so that your
palm is facing up and your fi ngers are relaxed.
4 Do not move your body or talk while taking the
measurement.
■ Measurement in laying posture
1 Lie down your head facing the celling.
2 Lightly open your hand with palm up and straighten your arm.
3 Relax your body, arm and fi ngers.
4 Do not move your body or talk during measurement.
* Relax yourself not to apply
pressure to the arm cuff.
■ You may use your right arm to measure your blood pressure.
Blood pressure rate is likely to differ by as much as 10mmHg when measured on the left arm
instead of the right (or vice-versa). Measure your blood pressure on the same arm each day.
