coffee or tea or smoking.
8. Measure blood pressure with a relaxed and quiet posture. Keep
the center of the cuff at the level of your heart, and DO NOT move
your arm or talk.

wrist for a few minute, as you arm will have built up higher blood
pressure, and you will not get valid reading.
10. Next figure shows the classification of blood pressure according
to WHO-standard.

on just one measurement. It is therefore necessary to measure
your blood pressure on a daily basis. Ideally, you should measure
your blood pressure daily at the same time.
