Correct measurement

To measure your blood pressure, sit comfortably on
a chair, take 5 or 6 deep breaths and relax.
Place your elbow on the table
or other supporting surface,
and hold your arm so that the
wrist sleeve is at heart height.
In doing so, support your
lower arm on the storage box
or on a folded towel or similar.
Always measure your blood
pressure at the same time each
day!
It is important to measure your blood pressure at
home and at the same time each day so that the
blood pressure, which can change over the course
of a day, is recorded properly.
Inform your doctor of the values measured so that
he can give you medical advice.
Blood pressure measured at the wrist can vary from
that measured at the upper arm. The values may be
slightly different because of the different
measurement positions and the strength of the
blood vessels in the wrist and upper arm. In many
cases, the difference for healthy people can be ±10
mmHg of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
