Blood pressure reading

Are you able to provide a blood pressure reading?

When you’re taking your blood pressure at home there are things you can do to help get an accurate reading.

Try to:

  • sit on an upright chair with a back
  • place your feet flat on the floor
  • rest your arm on a table and relax your hand and arm
  • wear something with short sleeves so the cuff does not go over clothes
  • relax, breathe normally and do not talk during the test
  • take another reading a few minutes after your first reading to check it’s accurate
