SUGGESTIONS BEFORE TAKING
A MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before 
taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before 
taking the measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements 
during stressful times.
3. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. 
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place. 
5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm 
on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your 
physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate 
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record 
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood 
pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
8. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the 
arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure 
measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on 
your individual physical characteristics.
