Follow your doctor’s advice on how and when to take
your blood pressure. Here are some important hints:
Take your blood pressure in a comfortable environment-
not too cold, not too hot-as temperature may affect your
measurement.
Plug the cuff tube into the monitor before taking a
measurement.
If you've just consumed beverages containing caffeine
such as coffee, non-herbal tea, or cola
wait about 30-45 minutes. Also, don't
smoke just before taking a
measurement.
Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your
body to return to its normal, resting state.
