6.2 Before the blood pressure measurement
General rules when measuring your own blood
pressure
• In order to generate an informative profile of changes in your
blood pressure that can be used for comparisons, you should
measure your blood pressure regularly and always at the
same time of day.
Measure your blood pressure twice a day: once in the morn-
ing after getting up and once in the evening.
• Always perform the measurement when you are su ciently
physically rested. Avoid taking measurements at stressful
times.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drink-
ing, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure al-
ways to rest for about 5 minutes.
• If you want to take several measurements in succession, al-
ways make sure that you leave at least 1 minute between each
measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you have doubts about the meas-
ured value.

ations between the values in the right and left arm are perfectly
normal. Always perform the measurement on the arm with the
higher blood pressure values. Consult your doctor about this be-
fore starting self-measurement.
• Always measure your blood pressure on the same arm.
