6 Measuring blood pressure and pulse

Before measuring

▪ Choose the right cuff size. The blood pressure cuff size is printed on the cuff.
▪ Avoid eating, smoking or any strenuous activity directly before the measurement. All these factors affect
the results. Before measuring your blood pressure, you should relax in a quiet atmosphere for 5 minutes.
▪ Always measure on the same arm (normally your left).
Blood pressure changes over the course of the day. Measurements are only comparable when they are
▪
measured at the same time of day and under the same circumstances.

WARNING

is a danger of incorrect measurements or injury!
