2.3 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
•Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
•Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
•It is important to take measurements at the same times each day. Taking
measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
•Remember to have 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.
•Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and
eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
•Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
