How to measure blood pressure accurately

summary

Blood pressure is constantly changing. It is not only based on the results of one blood pressure measurement to determine the blood pressure status, but also based on the data of multiple measurements over a period of time. Therefore, please insist on measuring blood pressure every day, and choose the time of the day when your mood can maintain the most stable state (such as after getting up in the morning). The ideal method is to measure blood pressure at the same time every day as much as possible. Here's how to measure blood pressure accurately.

How to measure blood pressure accurately

First: whether the height of the armband is at the same level as the heart. When the position of the armband is lower than that of the heart, the measured blood pressure is higher. Whether you feel restless or anxious. Please take a deep breath 2-3 times before measurement and relax to stabilize the blood pressure.

Second: blood pressure is constantly changing even in one day, and it will be different due to different methods of wristband coiling and different posture of measurement. So please measure under the same condition every time.

Third: during two consecutive measurements, it is necessary to be quiet for 4-5 minutes in the middle. The measurement results of left and right hands may vary in different degrees due to different conditions of each person. Therefore, please measure with the same arm each time.

matters needing attention

If the initial measured value is very high, it may be inaccurate. At this time, you should rest for about an hour before taking the measurement, so as not to worry about the measurement error. It is better to measure blood pressure twice every time, with an interval of more than 2 minutes, and then take the average of the two measurement results as the final value.
