• Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the same time of day, since
blood pressure changes during the course of the day. The ideal time to measure
your blood pressure is in the morning after you wake up, before breakfast and
physical activity, and in the absence of the urge to urinate.
• Rest for 5 minutes sitting quietly and release all the tension in your body
especially the arm muscles before beginning with the measurement. Remain
calm and quiet when the measurement is in process. Do not speak or move
your arm (as well as other body) muscles during the process.
• With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead
to false results. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated
after at least a 15 second pause or after the arm has been held up in order to
allow the accumulated blood to flow away.
• Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while taking a measurement.
4.2B Fitting the Wrist
a) Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc.) from your left wrist. If your
physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left arm, use your
right wrist.
