1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking
a measurement. Also rest for at least 15 minutes before taking your
first reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
3. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left upper arm.
4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet
place and you should be in a relaxed, seated
position. Rest your left arm on the arm of a
chair or on a table so that the cuff is at the
same level as your heart.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
