🧪 How to Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately
To get reliable results:
-
Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring.
-
Don’t talk during the test.
-
Avoid caffeine, exercise, or smoking for 30 minutes beforehand.
-
Use a validated upper-arm monitor (wrist monitors are less accurate).
-
Take multiple readings at different times — one high reading doesn’t mean hypertension.
