9.	DO NOT place too much emphasis on the results of one measurement. Keep a
	continuing record of your blood pressure variations. A complete picture can only
	be obtained from a large number of readings.
10.	Emotional stress tends to cause your blood pressure to rise.

To obtain correct blood pressure measurements

1.Take five or six deep breaths and then relax before measuring your blood pressure. If you are tense when taking the measurement, you will not get a valid reading.

2.Your blood pressure will be elevated if you are anxious or irritated, suffering from lack of sleep or constipation, or have just taken some exercise or eaten a meal.

3.Wrap the cuff around your arm and tighten it so that one finger can be inserted

between the cuff and arm. ( See page 16)

4.DO NOT measure your blood pressure after bathing or drinking.

5.If you feel the need to urinate, do so before measuring your blood pressure.

6.Measure your blood pressure where the room temperature is around 20°C. DO NOT measure your blood pressure when it is too cold (below 10°C) or too hot (above 40°C) in the room.

7.DO NOT try to measure your blood pressure immediately after drinking coffee or tea or after smoking.
