COMPASSIONATE CARE COMMITTEE:
Tips on Taking Blood Pressure: Very occasionally hypertension can be misdiagnosed. On your next visit to your physician if your blood pressure reading seems too high, ask the nurse to recheck it in 5-10 minutes. (Just the walk from the reception area to the patient room can elevate your B/P.) Here are a few tips you might consider when taking your B/P.
- Take in the A.M., if possible, before you eat or drink coffee
- Sphygmomanometer should always be at heart level
- Do not cross your legs
- Monitor your B/P at least 3 times before recording
- Do not check B/P with a full bladder
- Take a deep breath, relax your body, and you’re ready to go
