Eight steps for taking proper blood pressure
1 Hour Before
Step 1
Avoid taking measurements directly after eating,
drinking, or smoking. Allow at least one hour between
these activities and measurement of your blood pressure.
Step 2
Prepare a chair and table for the measurement. The
chair should have a vertical back-rest and the table
should allow for your upper arm to rest at the same
height as your heart.
