It is important that you consult your physician regularly. He will tell
you your normal blood pressure and what you should take care of.
Here are a few helpful tips to obtain accurate readings:
• Wait one hour before measuring the blood pressure after a
substantial meal.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring the blood
pressure.
• You should not do physical work one hour before taking a
reading.
• It is important that you relax. Try to take 15 minutes rest before
the reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• Take the blood pressure reading at normal body temperature,
not when you feel cold or hot.
• When the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near
freezing), keep it at a warm place at least for 1 hour before
using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before making the next pressure
measurement.
