1.2 Before Taking a Measurement

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for 30 minutes before taking a
measurement.
2. Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
3. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
6. Keep 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. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
