CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE

between your elbow and fingers.
NOTE:
Your heart is located slightly below your armpit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level as your
heart or if you cannot keep your arm
completely still throughout the reading, use
a soft object, such as a folded towel, to
support your wrist as shown in Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair with feet flat on the floor
and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning
