4 Take a measurement
4.1 Important Noted
Don't eat, drink alcohol, smoke, take a shower or exercise
for at least 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure
and don't use any medicines that can raise blood pressure.
Try not to take your blood pressure if you are nervous or
upset. If we are nervous, anxious, or agitated our blood pressure
will rise.
Rest for 5
～
10 minutes before taking a reading. Sit in a
comfortable, relaxed position. Don't move around or talk while
taking the blood pressure. Leave your legs in one position, breath
freely and calmly.
The blood pressure cuff should fit over about 3/4 of your upper
arm. It should easily go around the arm and the Velcro should
close tightly.
If you can, use the same arm for every reading.
Measuring blood pressure at the same time on different days
should give about the same reading (excluding outside influences
like exercise).
