General Notes on Taking your Own

Blood Pressure

You should take your blood pressure twice daily, in the mor-
ning and in the evening, each time in relaxed state.
Since physical exertions such as sports, but also eating, smo-
king and drinking of alcohol, influence the blood pressure va-
lues, you should always avoid these before taking your blood
pressure.
As previously mentioned, your blood pressure fluctuates
during the day, and as there may also be other factors influen-
cing it you can also get diverging results when you take
several mesurements one after the other.
Occasional or irregular measurements are not a safe basis for
a correct evaluation. This is only possible when you take your
blood pressure regularly and under equal conditions over an
extended period of time.
Enter your measured values into a table to allow a valid com-
parison.
Should you get high blood pressure values over a period of
time, make an appointment with your GP and show him your
results.
