Blood Pressure Q & A
Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home versus
measuring blood pressure at the clinic or doctor?
A: Readings taken in a clinical environment may be higher than usual due to
the patient feeling anxious. This is known as White Coat Hypertension.
Therefore readings taken at home at the same time each day are seen to
give a more accurate account.
Note: Abnormal test results may be caused by:
1. Improper cuff placement - ensure the cuff is snugly fitted and is
not too tight nor too loose. The bottom of the cuff should be
approximately 1-2cm (½”) above the elbow joint.
2. Improper body position - ensure your body is kept in an upright
position with your arm relaxed.
3. Feeling anxious or nervous - take 2 or 3 deep breaths and relax.
Wait a few minutes and retest.
4. Moving or talking during measurement - do not move or talk
during measurement. Breathe normally and relax.
Q: What causes different readings?
A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of the day. Many factors may
affect a person’s blood pressure including diet, stress, cuff placement, levels
of hydration.
Q: Which arm should I apply the cuff to? What is the difference?
A: Testing on the left arm may provide more accurate results as it is closest to
the heart however either arm can be used. Ensure that when results are
compared that the same arm has been used. Do not mix left and right arm
results.
Q: What is the best time of day for testing?
A: Generally when you wake up in the morning before you get out of bed but
otherwise any time of the day when you feel relaxed and stress free.
