Before taking your blood pressure
measurement
Note the following points so that the measurement
results give a realistic representation of your blood
pressure:
•
Always measure your blood pressure at the same
time of the day.
•
Measure your blood pressure when you are
relaxed. Try to rest for fifteen minutes before
measuring your blood pressure.
•
You should not eat, drink, smoke or exercise for
at least 60 minutes before taking a measurement.
•
Do not measure your blood pressure if you feel
stressed or tense.
•
Measure your blood pressure at normal body
temperature, but not if you are too hot or cold.
•
Wait for approximately 5 minutes between
measurements.
