Suggestions Before Taking AMeasurement•Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest at least15 minutes before taking a measurement.•Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.•Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.•Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.•Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on a table so that the cuff is atthe same level as your heart.•Remain still and do not speak during the measurement.•It is recommended that a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings be brought to yourphysician on a regular basis, as a single measurement does not provide an accurate indication ofyour true blood pressure.•It is recommended that you take and record several readings over a period of time, measuringyour blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.•If you are taking multiple readings consecutively, you should wait 2-3 minutes betweenmeasurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking theblood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on yourindividual physical characteristics.CAUTION: Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of thesubject, his/her physiologic condition, and other factors.Suggestions Before Taking A MeasurementInstruction Manual 13Ideal BP Manual Jan09:Ideal BP Manual July07 8/4/09 9:49 AM Page 13
