TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:
☞ Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement.
☞ Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
☞ Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm
to measure pressure.
Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:
1. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface
so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height
as your heart.
2. Lay left arm on the table, palm up
and thread cuff end through metal
loop, smooth side against arm. Then
position the tube off-center toward
the inner side of arm in line with
the little finger.
3. Pull the end of the cuff to
tighten it, fold back the extra
material, and fasten the Velcro.
The cuff should be snug but
not too tight. You should be able
to insert two fingers between
the cuff and your arm.
