in and out five times before you start
measuring.
Wait at least 3 minutes between 2
measurements to avoid incorrect readings due
to the temporary congestion of the arteries.
Perform the measurement every day at the
same time, since your blood pressure
fluctuates in the course of the day.
Do not eat, smoke or drink before you
measure your blood pressure.Alcoholic
beverages in particular will influence the
measurement.
