Important Reminders
Follow your doctor's advice on how and when to take your
blood pressure. Otherwise, here are some important
hints:
Before Taking a Measurement
✓
Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your body
to return to its normal, resting state.
✓
Take your blood pressure in a comfortable environment -
not too cold, not too hot-as temperature may affect your
measurement.
✓
If you've just consumed beverages containing caffeine
such as coffee, non-herbal tea, or cola wait about 30-45
minutes. Also, don't smoke just before taking a mea-
surement.
✓
Plug the cuff tube into the monitor before taking a
measurement.
