Measuring Blood Pressure

When to Take Blood Pressure
• The best times to take your blood pressure are
within 1 hour of waking in the morning or 1 hour
before bedtime.
• When measuring in the morning, measure after
urinating and before eating breakfast.
• Always measure your blood pressure before
taking blood pressure medication.
• If you need to measure your blood pressure at
another time of day, make sure you are calm
and stable before measuring.
• Measure your blood pressure at the same time
every day. Blood pressure changes during the
course of the day by as much as 20–40 mmHg.
• Follow any directions given by your physician
regarding how and when to measure your blood
pressure.
Before Measurement
• If the monitor is being used by multiple people,
wash hands before each measurement.
• Remove any clothing that fits closely to your
upper arm.
• Your blood pressure should be measured sitting
down. Take note if your blood pressure is taken
in a different position.
• Take measurements on the same arm (normally
left) every time unless necessary.
• Avoid any electromagnetic interference when
taking measurements.
• If the arm artery lies considerably lower or
higher than the heart, the measurement may be
incorrect.
• Only use the included cuff.
• A loose or improperly fitted cuff will result in
incorrect measurements.
Caution:
• Do not measure blood pressure until at least
30 minutes after physical activity. Do not
smoke or drink stimulating beverages, such as
coffee or alcohol, before measurement.
• Blood pressure should be measured at
intervals of no less than 3 minutes, depending
on your physical condition.
• People with arrhythmia and/or arteriosclerosis
should be measured by medical staff for a
professional diagnosis.
• Avoid pressing the cuff to your body while
taking measurements.
