Blood pressure is one of the most common health checks-but did you know that most people do it wrong? Even a small mistake can give false readings, leading to unnecessary panic or missed warning signs. Here are 10 simple yet crucial tips to get your blood pressure right every time:
-
Empty your bladder first – A full bladder can raise readings.
-
Sit in a relaxed position – Keep your back supported and legs uncrossed.
-
Rest for 5 minutes before testing – Let your heart settle.
-
Avoid caffeine or smoking 30 minutes before – These spike your BP.
-
Place the cuff at heart level – Misplacement affects accuracy.
-
Use the right cuff size – Too small or too large gives wrong readings.
-
Don’t talk during the reading – Even speaking can alter numbers.
-
Take readings at the same time daily – Morning is usually best.
-
Measure both arms the first time – There can be variation.
-
Track readings over time – One high reading doesn’t mean hypertension.
Accurate measurement = better heart health.
