For proper measurement of blood pressure
•Take a deep breath five or six time and then relax before measuring blood pressure. If you are tense when taking the measurement, you will not get a valid reading.
•Blood pressure will be elevated when you are in a worrisome or irritated state, suffering from lack of sleep or constipation, or after exercise or a meal.
•Putting on the cuff is one of the most impor- tant tasks for ensuring proper measurement of blood pressure. Wind the cuff around the wrist and tighten it so that one finger may be inserted between the cuff and wrist.
•Do NOT measure blood pressure after bathing or drinking.
•When you feel like relieving yourself, you should do so before measuring blood pressure.
•Measure blood pressure where the room tem- perature is about 20˚C. Do NOT measure blood pressure when it is too cold (below 10˚C) or too hot (above 40˚C) in the room.
•Do NOT measure blood pressure immediately after drinking coffee or tea or smoking.
•Measure blood pressure with a relaxed and quiet posture. Keep the center of the cuff at the level of your heart, and do NOT move your arm or talk during measurement.
•Do NOT keep on measuring so many times, as your arm will have built up congestion of blood, and you will not get a valid reading.
