1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and Self-

arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values,
the systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are

should therefore take your measurements in the same quiet
conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two
measurements per day, one in the morning and one in the
