2.3 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at same times each day. Taking
measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your
physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your
true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period
of time.
Caution
• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for at
least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
