NOTES:

• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate

results. 

• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time

each day. (Within 1 hour of waking is recommended.)

HOW TO SIT CORRECTLY WHEN TAKING A MEASUREMENT

14

Incorrect Posture

•

Arched back (leaning forwards)

•

Sitting cross-legged

•

Sitting on a sofa or at a low table
so that you tend to lean forwards

These situations could lead to higher blood pressure reading due to strain or the
arm cuff being lower than the heart.

If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions etc., to adjust
the height of your arm.
