TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:

Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement.

Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to

measurement.

Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare wrist.

Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm

to measure pressure.

Do not talk during measurement.

Do not cross legs. Keep you feet flat on floor during

measurement.

Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:

1 .

Sit comfortably in a chair near a flat surface.

2 .

With palm facing upward, attach monitor

to the inside of your left wrist and fasten

securely. The top edge of the cuff should

align with the crease of your wrist.

3 .

Position your wrist so it is level with

your heart, using an arm rest if needed.

Positioning of the wrist at heart level is

critical for accurate measurement

.

4 .

To keep track of your AM or PM readings
