To measure your blood pressure accurately, please follow these guidelines: • Refrain from eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes before taking your blood pressure. • Empty your bladder before measuring your blood pressure. • Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported for at least 5 minutes before measuring your blood pressure. • Keep both feet flat on the ground and avoid crossing your legs. • Rest your arm with the blood pressure cuff on a table at chest height. • Ensure that the blood pressure cuff is snug but not excessively tight. The cuff should be in contact with your bare skin, not over clothing. • Remain quiet while your blood pressure is being measured. • Measure your blood pressure at the same time every day. • Take at least two readings, with a one or two minute interval between them.
