Blood Pressure Q&A
86
Q: What causes different readings?
A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many
factors including diet, stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect
an individual's blood pressure.
Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right wrist? What is the
difference?
A: Either wrist can be used when testing, however, when com-
paring results, the same wrist should be used.
Testing on your left wrist may provide more accurate results
as it is located closer to your heart.
Q: What is the best time of day for testing?
A: Morning time or any time you feel relaxed and stress free.
