1. Individual blood pressure varies
multiple times everyday. It is also
affected by the way you tie your cuff
and your measurement position, so
please take your measurements under
the same conditions.
2.you take medicine, your pressure will
vary more.
3.Wait at least 3 minutes before taking
another measurement.
Blood pressure is different throughout
the day due to weather, emotion,
exercise etc, Also, there is the “white
coat” effect, which means blood
pressure usually increases in clinical
settings.
What you need to pay attention
to when you measure your
blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm.
If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before
beginning will be better for measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5 minutes
until you calm down.
Using either arm is okay, but there
will be some different results for
different people. We suggest you
measure the same arm every time.
