5. Measuring your blood pressure
You can wait until your telehealth appliance prompts you to measure your blood
pressure, or you can measure your blood pressure at any other time as directed
by your care provider. Regardless of when you measure your blood pressure, the
basic procedure is the same.
Before you begin
To ensure accurate blood pressure measurements, observe the following
suggestions:
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.
• Wait at least 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before you measure your
blood pressure.
• If you roll your sleeve up, ensure that it does not constrict your blood flow.
• Sit in a comfortable position with your arm resting on a table at chest level
and relax for at least 5 minutes.
