TIPS ON TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
TIPS ON TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
see fig.1
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force exerted by the heart in pumping the blood
through the arteries and the resistance by the veins in this flow.
Blood pressure changes easily as influenced by mental and physical factors
and is never constant.
Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure
• Body movement • Conversation • Mental Tension • Emotions • Meals
• Drinking Alcohol • Smoking • Recent Urination or Bowel Movement
•Temperature • Changes in the surroundings such as movement or noise, etc.
In general, blood pressure is highest during the working hours and gradually decreases during
the afternoon and evening hours. It is low during sleep and slowly increases at a relatively fast
rate after arising from bed.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured
in a hospital, clinic or doctor's office.
When blood pressure is measured in a hospital, it could be higher than when measured at
home. This is because you are tense at the hospital and relaxed at home. It is important to
know your stable normal blood pressure at home.
Let a qualified physician interpret your blood pressure readings.
Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood pressure can be slightly different.
Consult with your doctor on determining what blood pressure is normal for you.
Blood pressure classification by WHO (1999)
Rest for approximately five minutes and take your blood pressure while relaxed in a
quiet environment.
Take blood pressure measurement with the correct posture and do not move nor
speak during measurement.
Avoid exercise, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking and other activities that affect your
blood pressure right before a measurement.
Take your blood pressure every day at the same time.
The ambient temperature sould be approximately 68˚F (20˚C) when you take your
blood pressure.
