Taking your blood pressure measurement

How do I take my blood pressure measurement?

You can take your blood pressure measurement at home, at work, or in other places, but when you take your blood pressure you should preferably be in a quiet place, and you should sit down and relax. Don't take a reading within 30 minutes of eating, or after drinking alcohol. The cuff of your blood pressure monitor should rest directly across from your heart on your upper arm. Roll up the sleeve of your shirt or remove any tight-fitting sleeves. Try not to move or talk during the reading. If you're using the monitor daily, it may be easier to make comparisons by taking your measurements at the same time each day.
