How To Take an Accurate Blood Pressure Reading AT-HOME

[@blurayauthority]

Watching this video raised my BP by 20 points. Now that I know there are so many “rules” it’ll make taking it all that more stressful.

watching this video helped me stop getting bad reads, thank you! !

How many readings should be taken and which results should be taken to get the results of the Omron hem 7120 digital blood prssure machine?

[@keithmcdonald1376]

should we assume that: very high readings that were not properly taken need to be deleted so that averages will not be skewed? when multiple readings are taken at one sitting should we keep only the best readings? How important is it to have a low Diastolic reading? How to reconcile a swing from very high to very low readings in the same day?

When I saw that one 13 at the top I was really mixed up isn’t that a very very very high reading wine are usually 140 to 160 and I’m told that I have very high blood pressure right now. I am 76 trying to figure this out and I usually take about three readings but sometimes it’s after a walk but after I’ve calm down for about 10 minutes, is that OK? What are the average good readings for maybe me I’m 76

How tight or loose should the cough be around the arm?

[@enablehealthcare1]

@Claudia, the cuff should have a snug fit but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm without difficulty. If it's too loose, it may result in inaccurate readings, and if it's too tight, it may result in higher blood pressure readings. Also, make sure the cuff feels comfortable on your arm. It should not cause any pain, numbness, or tingling sensation. Let us know if you have any further questions.

@@enablehealthcare1hen you say “two fingers”, do you mean on top of each other or side by side. And is it from the top of the bottom?

[@AnthonyManzio]

@@enablehealthcare1 What if I can put more than 2 fingers like 5 fingers under the cuff?
