Suggestions Before Measuring
Blood Pressure
1. Avoid eating, smoking and exercising for at least
30 minutes before taking measurement. Also rest
for at least 10 to 15 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking
measurements during stressful times.
3. The cuff can be applied to your left
or right wrist.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place
and you should be in a relaxed, seated position.
5. Remain still and do not talk during
the measurements.
6. Keep a record of you blood pressure and pulse for you doctor.
Remember, a single measurement does not provide an accurate indication
of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings
over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same
time each day for consistency.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. Waiting allows the engorged blood
vessels to return to normal. You may require more rest time between readings
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
