Measuring blood pressure and pulse
5.1
Before measuring
Choose the right cuff size.
Avoid eating, smoking or any strenuous activity
directly before the measurement. All these factors
affect the results. Try to relax in a calm atmosphere
for about 5 minutes before measuring your blood
pressure.
Always measure on the same arm (normally your
left).
Try to carry out the measurements at regular
intervals and at the same time of day as your blood
pressure changes over the course of the day.
