BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

1.Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement.

2.Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.

3.Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.

4.Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.

5.Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

6.Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.

7.Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. 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 about the same time each day for consistency.

8.Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
