4.4.4. Diastolic blood pressure reading

Allow the pressure to continue dropping at the same deflation rate. When your diastolic blood
pressure value reached, the thumping sound stops. Deflate the cuff valve completely. Remove the
cuff from arm and stethoscope from ears.
4.4.5. Record your readings
Repeat the measurement at least two times. Do not forget to record your readings and the time
of the day measurement is made immediately after you finish measuring. A suitable time is first
thing in the morning, or just before evening meals. Remember that your
physician is the only person qualified to analyze your blood pressure.
☞ Further information
Measurements should not occur soon after each other, since otherwise, the results will be
falsified. Wait therefore for several minutes in a relaxed position, sitting or lying, before you
repeat a measurement.
