Sit quietly with your feet flat on the floor and back resting against the back of a chair or a firm surface for at least 5 minutes before measuring and during measurement.
Use the same arm each time you measure your BP.
Remove bulky or tight clothing from your arm completely.
Place the cuff on bare skin.
Wrap the blood pressure cuff snugly around your bare upper arm (2 fingers should fit between the blood pressure cuff and your arm). The edge of the cuff must be ½ an inch to an inch (or 1 or 2 cm) above your elbow.
Place your arm on a table or a firm surface. The cuff must be at the level of your heart.
Do not talk during the test.
Take one reading and record your blood pressure.
