- Carry out 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.
- Do not attach too much importance to the results of a
