7. DO NOT try to measure your blood pressure immediately after
drinking coffee or tea or after smoking.

the center of the cuff at the level of your heart and DO NOT move
your arm or talk.

Defi nitions and Classifi cations of Blood Pressure Levels
Measure your blood pressure at the same time each
day.
* Your blood pressure changes all the time. This means that data
gathered over a long period has far more signifi cance than data
from just one measurement. For this reason, you must measure your
blood pressure on a daily basis. Ideally, you should measure your
blood pressure at the same time each day, wherever possible.
