1.4 Before Taking a Measurement
General information about weight and BMI measurements:
Your healthcare providers want to get an accurate picture of your
blood pressure and chart what happens over time. Starting at age
20, the American Heart Association recommends a regular blood
pressure screening.
Your doctor will evaluate the data you have stored, once you share
it with her/him, and will immediately have a better overview of the
course of your blood pressure measurements. You will be control-
ling and supporting the monitoring of your doctor’s treatment.
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
•
Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bath-
ing for more than 30 minutes before taking your measure-
ment. Rest for 15 minutes before taking the measurement.
•
Do not take measurement during stressful times.
•
Remove tight-fitting clothing from the arm.
•
Remain still and do not talk during measurement.
•
Try to measure your blood pressure at about the same time
every day for consistency.
•
Wait 3 minutes between measurements to allow the arteries
to return to normal condition.
