TIPS ON TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force exerted by the heart in pumping the
blood through the arteries and the resistance by the veins in this ow.
Blood pressure varies all the time, in uenced by mental and physical
factors and is never constant.
In general, blood pressure is highest during the working hours and gradually
decreases during the a ernoon and evening hours. It is low during sleep and
increases at a relatively fast rate a er arising from bed.
Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure
• Body movement
• Conversation
• Emotions
• Eating
• Smoking
• Recent Urination or Bowel Movement
• Temperature
• Changes in the surroundings such as movement
or noise, etc.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when
measured in a hospital, clinic or doctor's o ce.
is is because you are tense at the hospital and relaxed at home. It is important
to know your stable normal blood pressure at home.
Let a quali ed physician interpret your blood pressure readings.
Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood pressure can be
slightly di erent. Consult with your doctor on determining what blood pressure
is normal for you.
CORRECT MEASURING POSTURE
Sit at the table and let the table support your arm as you take the blood pressure
measurement.
Make sure that the measurement location on the upper arm is at approximately
the same height as the heart, and that the forearm is extended naturally on the
table and does not move.
You may lie on your back and take the measurement. Look at the ceiling, stay calm, and do not
move your neck or body during the measurement. Again, make sure that the measurement
location on the arm is at approximately the same height as the heart.
Measured data may vary slightly depending on the posture during
measurement.
If the cu is lower (higher) than the heart, the measured reading tends to
become larger (smaller).
