5. Measuring your blood pressure
The 10 golden rules of blood pressure measurement
Many factors play a role in blood pressure measurement. These ten general rules
help you to correctly carry out the measurement.
1. Rest for about
5minutes before
measuring your blood
pressure. Even working
at your desk increases
blood pressure by
an average of about
6 mmHg systolic and
5 mmHg diastolic.
2. Do not consume any
nicotine or caffeine for
up to one hour before
measurement.
3. Do not measure
when you have a
strong urge to urinate.
A full bladder can
increase blood pressure
by about 10 mmHg.
4. Take measurements
on a bare upper arm
and while sitting
upright.
5. If you are using a
wrist monitor, hold the
cuff at heart height
during measurement.
The cuff of an upper
arm monitor is naturally
positioned at the correct
height.
6. Please do not talk
or move when meas-
uring your blood pres-
sure. Talking increases
values by about
6–7 mmHg.
1 min
7. Wait for at least one
minute between each
measurement so that
the blood vessels are
ready by removing the
pressure applied to
them.
8. The date and time
are conveniently and
easily recorded with
the measured values
as well as any medica-
tions you have taken
with Veroval
®
medi.
