HELPFUL TIPS
• Genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, stress, muscular development, certain medications, or even time
of day can influence blood pressure.
• Avoid continuous readings – Wait a minimum of 1 to 15 minutes between readings to allow blood flow in the
arm to return to normal. At least 15 minutes between blood pressure measurements is ideal.
• Home blood pressure measurement may vary as much as 10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor’s office.
• For More Consistent Readings, place cuff on the same wrist for best results.
