2 TIPS ON TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
1. It is necessary to know that arterial blood pressure is subjected to sharp
fluctuations. The level of the arterial blood pressure depends on many
factors. Generally arterial blood pressure is lower in the summer and higher
in the winter. Arterial blood pressure changes with atmosphere pressure
and is affected considerably by many factors, e.g. physical loads, emotional
excitability, stress, meals, etc. Medicines, drinking, and smoking can affect
blood pressure. When blood pressure is measured in the hospital, the value is
sometimes higher than when taken at home. This is believed to be associated
with anxiety experienced during the hospital/clinic visit. Blood pressure may
be elevated when taken in low temperatures. If this device was stored at a low
temperature, it is necessary to leave it at room temperature for at least 1 hour,
otherwise the measurement can be inaccurate. Blood pressure varies by age
and from person to person, and it is recommended to record blood pressure
daily; then you can check with your physician to find out what normal blood
pressure is for you.
