■ Measurement in a reclining posture
* Relax yourself to avoid placing
pressure on the cuff.
■ You may use your right arm to measure your blood pressure.
Blood pressure value is likely to differ by as much as 10 mmHg when measured on
the right arm instead of the left (or vice-versa). Measure your blood pressure on the
same arm each day.
Your blood pressure varies according to your posture, the time of day and a range of
other factors. Ideally, you should measure your blood pressure in the same posture
at the same time every day.
■ Taking measurements while sitting
* Be seated comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, and don't
cross your legs.
1
Place your arm on a table or similar surface with your forearm extended.
2 It is important to have the cuff level with your heart.
3 Open your hand slightly on the table so that your palm
is facing up and your fingers are relaxed.
4 Do not move your body or talk while taking the
measurement.
