Page 7: Tips On Taking Blood Pressure Measurement
2 TIPS ON TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT 1. It is necessary to know that arterial blood pressure is subjected to sharp fluctuations. The level of the arterial blood pressure depends on many factors. Generally arterial blood pressure is lower in the summer and higher in the winter. - Page 8 The illustration above is from The British Hypertension Society 2. Patients with cardiovascular diseases: Take measurement under doctor’s instruction. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosage of any drug pre- scribed by your doctor! 3. Accurate measurement of blood pressure may be difficult in people with serious arteriosclerosis, weak pulse, or in patients with irregular heart rates.
- Page 9 4. Keep quiet and relax during measurement. To obtain accurate readings, wait one hour after a meal or smoking before taking a measurement. 5. Wait at least 5 minutes before taking the next measurement. Atherosclerosis and diabetes patients require longer intervals (10-15 minutes), since vessel elasticity may have decreased in these pathologies.
