BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes

before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the

measurement.

2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.

3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.

4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.

5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on table so that the

cuff is at the same level as your heart.

6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.

7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return

to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to

increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

8. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A

single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood

pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to

measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
