What if I can put more than 2 fingers like 5 fingers under the cuff?
1) In the morning an hour after waking up, before food, after emptying your bladder, on the same arm each day. Take 3 consecutive measurements one minute apart and disregard the first one. The last 2 measurements will be more accurate. 2) The 2nd best time is in the late evening after winding down when the body is more relaxed. Do not be physically active prior to taking the measurement. Do not measure your blood pressure when your body is cold. Take 3 measurements and disregard the first one.
In a nutshell.
Someone else told me to do that, but I stopped! Every subsequent BP reading is higher - every time!
Don't cross your legs and don't talk or move while you are taking it.
My doctor considered 130/80 too high, put me on the meds to take it down to 106/60. After blacking out a few times, back at my normal 130/80, healthy and happy again.
Wow! Glad you're better Sidonie.
Tell your Dr. to take a hike, there's plenty more where he came from!
130/80 is perfect. Ridiculous to go on lifelong meds - he just gets pushed to prescribe
Same thing happened to me,even hospitalization. I am happy you’re back to being healthy and happy.
That's not high 130/80.
Wow great explanation. I have experienced night time after some rest my BP was 112/80 and in the morning after wake up immediately 125/84. I learned great lesson....thank you for your constructive information.

A lot of people don't realize that sugar has a tremendous effect on raising pressure. I know that when I consume sugar or sweet foods my heart rate elevates and my pressure rises.
It's interesting how many things you mention that the doctors office never does. Haul you in, weigh you, talking, sit down, often take blood pressure over your sleeve, etc. Maybe this should be mandatory for doctors AND their nursing staff to watch.
My doctor has a big sign on the wall that says if your blood pressure is 140/90 or greater, remind us to take your BP a second time before you leave.
I've been doing my readings right after waking up every day for the past 3 yrs and it's worked for me. Just get it over with and get on with my life for the rest of the day.
A clear and practical way to help you to check Bp which is a tricky and confusing. Never I seen in my life a doctor to help you how to check or control, they frighten the patient and got no time to explain or guide the patients only prescribe medications it’s from long experience of seeing many doctors all over the world Dr your video very helpful and a good guidance to the patients . Thanks for your way of making it easy to understand the Blood Pressure.

This is great. Why isnt it used when taking a medical physical?
I'm not too worried about my HBP. All 4 of my grandparents had HBP - my maternal grandmother had VERY high BP and lived to 107. She refused any BP medication and told her doctor that that high reading was normal for her. My grandfather's was always in the 160/90 - 175/100 range and he lived to 99 and only died because he slipped on ice on a sidewalk and hit his head. My paternal grandparents were on and off BP medications since I was a baby and they both lived well into their late 80's and neither died of anything to do with heart issues or strokes (grandpa from lung cancer from smoking 2 packs a day for 75 years). I sometimes wonder if HBP is even an "illness" and not just a normal body response to food, stress, activity, etc.,.

Healthy BP varies person to person. A HBP is a symptom for an underline health condition. The key is to treat the underline health condition, not the symptom.
BP is checked every health exam and every doctor visit. HBP drug is proscribed all over the places yet HBP still the top cause of death in US. Why? because the treatment is not effective but big pharm makes tones of money out of those harmful drugs.
❤
Thanks for that, Laurel. Regards from Blighty :).
Same with my mother, a very high BP, no meds, and lived happily until 92
I'm a retired dialysis tech. I've monitoring my BP, every day. This is so educational for everyone. Thanks much.
Bless you Oretta. I missed going on dialysis by one week. Thank God. I had my transplant right before I had to go on dialysis.
Why is BP needed every day versus once a week or once a month?
You're right doctor. Thanks for your instructions.
Better info than I ever got from any cardiologist. Thanks so much. ❤
Even if someone is familiar with health info, it is always worth being reintroduced to info.
Sharing your knowledge about medicine around the world is quite interesting,dr.thank you.
Thank you , this video will be helpfull to all the bp patient .
Thank you very much for this wonderful video it's a big help for us to know the proper way to take our own BP.
It's my pleasure Alvin.

Aaaa
Thank you for the information, now I know when to take my blood pressure. I don't have a high blood pressure but just the same taking precautions. Thanks!
Good for you Ian!
Thanks very much
My last BP reading was 247/94 so I was rush to A&E....the main reason was I'm always stress looking after my old disable husband. Medicine does not help.
Try beet root powder

Thank you Sir for giving the tips which I did not get anywhere before.
I have chronic HBP, OCD, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION.
HAVING TO PUT MY arm in that cuff makes me anxious.
Me, too. I hate the feeling of cuff squeezing me. Even anticipating the cuff-squeeze sets me off. I feel claustrophobia coming on - things closing in on me. Maybe I watched too many 'Twilight Zones' when younger.
I’m the same. I’m wondering how to take it with out being nervous and getting the numbers ok
Me too😭
A very reassuring message. Thank you.❤
Loud and clear explanation👍
What an eye opener. Thank you very much. Fourways. Sandton. South Africa
Best Information....clear and very understable
Thank you Kristen!
Great learning! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the information it has been very helpful cause I do monitor my blood pressure at home and keep a journal for my doctor but I didn’t know about taking it late in the evening after settling down. So thank u ☺️
This was great informative THANK YOU 🙏
Thanks for detailed and systematic explanation
Pradip. You are welcome!
Thank you Doc👍
Thanks
Nice information with short summary.
Well done.
Iftikhar, thank you so much.
High blood pressure runs in the family. My aunts, uncles, and 30 of my cousins have hypertension. My grandmother also had it.
It's not hereditary bro. It's a consistent lifestyle that you've been predisposed to (high salt, sugar and processed foods) then you add stress and BAM.
Lucid and clear explanation by the Doctor about how BP during the day is yo be taken and measured.
The instruction given will be useful for the people not to get unnecessarily worked up about the BP readings taken during different times of the day.
Thanks Doctor .
May Gid bless you.
Wonderful tips thank you very much
My pleasure 😊
Thank you!!! I I am now a member of the HBP Club 😎, I want to manage it well and the more I know the easier and safer it will be for me ,, thank you again 👍🏻🙏🏻
Hi Gabriella. You can do it!
@@HealthyBloodPressure t7jkk
Hi mam how you manage bp..are u eating tablets
I already knew about all this, but I'm sure there are many people who does't know about all this information. I have had high blood pressure for years, it's very well control with medication. very good information, i'm sure many people is going to benefit from your video. thank you.
I'm glad you are ahead of the learning curve!
A nurse took my blood pressure holding my arm out and over my sleeve. My reading was 215/110. Never in my life my blood pressure was that high
I had someone do that to me and it was high. They said it didn't matter which is bs.
Yes, I had that happen as well.
It matters whether it’s on the shirt or on your arm. I always lift up my shirt and I tell them that you’re not supposed to do it over my shirt and they just look at me.
They also try to tell you it doesn't matter what arm you take it from which is also wrong! it should be on the left arm. Some of them actually ask you which arm you want them to take it from!
"arm at level of your heart" - I've known this but notice that ALL 'medical professionals (except for older docs who know things) ignore this and let arm fall into lap or rest lower than heart, then say 'you gotta lower your bp,' or 'you need meds.'
The cuff on the arm needs to be at the same level as the heart, not the whole arm.
God bless you. Thank you very much
Thank you for explaining me that, for donkeys years, I have been measuring my BP at the wrong hours. Now I know how to do it at the right hours. Greetings and thanks from the Middle East. 🙂🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Ruti in the Middle East. Great to hear from you! "Donkey years" is a long time. LOL :-)
If some one is sitting with their both feet hanging while taking their blood pressure reading will the reading be accurate?
what sir ? All the donkeys are benefitting without ever studying microbiology or microscopes .......... science or scientific , biology or physics .....
now they say physics for medicine ......rather than physics for electronics ..........
all the quack doctors have ruined the careers of real doctors ??? have they ?? you don't really study medicine like munna Bai MBBS who just having fun ...... such a common scene down .......in mid summers night dreams .....
Yup, fellow old folks, spend your days taking blood pressure, taking meds & vitamins, seeing doctors who misdiagnose or ignore your repeated health concerns like swollen limbs, constant urinating, nausea, ad infinitum. My advice is prepay for a cemetery plot, its about the surest step you can make.
yep. Twice now I have been to the doctor with a concern and he has simply ignored it and focused on BP. It is a fixation...mainly due to the fact that pushing BP drugs is easier and more profitable than actually being a doctor and diagnosing my problem.
I was 14 years old when my Dad had a stroke. I watched him slowly die over a 2 year period. Everyone has to die but I would rather take my blood pressure and medicate than vegetate. It is hurtful when people are amused and shrug off self care.
Greetings.
It was very educational.
God bless you.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome Mahmood.
Thank u doctor u are very helpful keep up the good works
Thank you FOR your very informative video it's the best one I've seen so far 😏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I take my BP twice a day, during the day and during the night, whenever I remember. Sometimes I miss a reading. I record my BP for 3 years and continuing. It is not any one reading that concerns me, but the trend of all my BP readings taking over a course of a few days or more. I know what my normal BP should be by looking at the all my readings.
That wss the best instrucyion i have ever heard.
I do it as you say so i am happy i was and is on the right track.
Thank you
Thanks for the information
My pleasure Ndongo!
Thanks. Looking forward to getting my BP Down some. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏻☝🏻
You're welcome Linda. Just a few lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Good luck!
Some useful info but what is not mentioned is your consecutive BP readings should be about 5 to 10 min apart. You need to give your veins time to decompress fully from be squeezed. Otherwise the second and third reading will be artificially lower.
Excellent presentation thank you, great evidence based information, as a health professional myself this is a great summary - ps the voice over is also very relaxed I feel my BP lowering already! 😊
This is the best advice I ever came across. For that I just subscribed you and thank you!🙏
Thank yo u, this has been very helpful.
You're very welcome Raychelle.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING ALL THIS!
you're very welcome
Thank u Doc much appreciated I have learn a lot 👍🏼❤️💯
Thank you for the info. May I ask about the difference between stroke & heart attack & how it is determined. God bless
Rosalinda, thanks for asking this. I'm working on a video that answers this very question right now. It should be out some time next week.
Thank you for sharing. Great information. Its highly appreciated 🙏. I am a new subscriber and i just hit the like button as well. Keep up the good works.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HealthyBloodPressure I THANK YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS . PLEASE REMEMBER TO TAKE AL PECAUTIONS DURING THIS COVID-19 TIME.
@@HealthyBloodPressure 🙏🙏
Thank you doct, l'll follow your advice 👍👍✌️✌️
Very informative video, Thanks for sharing
This was a helpful video. I’ve been doing a lot wrong.
0:58, Great info. Lots of things I didn't know esp. this segment. Thanks
Thanks Dave
It's worth watching
You're welcome Jeffrey! And yay! You're the first person who's called me by my name. I got the feelz there for a moment. :-)
Excellent and very informative video
Is it acceptable to take several deep breathe before BP measurements? I read the British Hypertension Society recommends taking BP until it quits changing and to use this as the true BP. Thoughts?
Thankyou so much for sharing your medical knowledge.,Greatly appreciated .
Thank you for sharing. Watching from thePhilippines.
Wish I could come back.
PH is awesome! The most beautiful people in that country.
@@HealthyBloodPressure I agree im married to one!
God Bless
Michael
Thanks, l always take mind 3time.
Due 2 the first one is high.then 2 and 3 go down. Happy u told us how 2 take our B/P.
Excellent Mary Lou! Honestly, when I first started checking my blood pressure, I didn't realize that I needed to take it multiple times. I had a few unnecessary scares because I recorded the wrong blood pressure readings.
Good, encouraging and precise guidelines ! Greetings from Manaus, Brazil.
Thank you for the update!
Great video. It helps a lot knowing what the nuances of blood pressure are.
You mention the problems with high blood pressure and the meaning of systolic abd diastolic. I understand that. But I would like to know the risks of low blood pressure.
I am a 69 year old man in generally good health. Ten minutes ago I took my blood pressure and it was 114/67 with a pulse rate of 74. Is that too low, or is there such a thing as too low? I'm currently taking metoprolol and amlodipine for my blood pressure, but I am thinking that it might be lowering it too much. I don't have any symptoms like passing out when standing up, or getting dizzy. That never happens.
Am I making too much of this? Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you!
I took mine about an hour before going to the dentist , it was high as
Very good illustration.
Thank you Doctor Sir
Thank you very good information!
Glad it was helpful!
Which is the best arm to use to take your blood pressure? I have always been taught to use the left, however, I notice in your video they are using the right arm. I was told the left is best because it is closest to the heart.
I spotted a few using the left arm.
Some of the right-arm ones might have been broadcast back to front.
The video was informative enough. Thank you so much
Very good infermation sir🍆🍒🍓
WHAT A GREAT RUclips! EXCELLENT INFORMATION! THANK YOU!!
You're very welcome Frank!
I truly appreciate this video. Thank you. Question: Doctors are so hasty to prescribe medications, is medication necessary if you can watch your died and eat the best fruits and vegetables that will help bring the BP down?
❤Great video and very helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊
Very very helpful, but it is so difficult not to worry at an unusually high reading!! How can one simply disregard 210 over 105?
😭
Thank you very much, really appreciated ❤️🙏
Thanks for the information. I use the Ambrosia Blucon with Libre sensor, It helps me to monitor readings on the Apple Watch and iPhone, the alarms help me at night. It also has food insight option which helps to show which food effects on my glucose and I can track my activity status too like exercise, running etc.
i'VE JUST GIVEN MY DOCTOR , AT HIS REQUEST, 16 READINGS FOR YESTERDAY ; MID MORNING TO MID EVENING, 2 X 2 AT 4 DIFFERENT MEASURES, EMPYING BLADDER FIRST, AND BEFORE OR WELL TWEEN SNACKING. HE WAS MOSTLY SATISFIED WITH MY RESULTS . I AM APPROACHING 83.
I used to drink those energy drinks daily and I noticed that my blood pressure shoot up tremendously! And also every time I go to the doctors office my blood pressure sky rocket! But at home, my blood pressure is great. I am 69 and my blood pressure is even below 120 over below 80. I'm not taking any medication at all!
Yes did the same thing to me
Some of the tips are very new to me. From Chennai city, India.
Hi David. We share the same name! :-)
Thank you for the info.
I really appreciate it.
I have a high blood pressure.
Great video. Very clear. Now I know. ☺️ Thanks!!
Thank you also tell us how to place the cuff on the arm and how should the arm be straight or bent at the elbow and that tube where it should be. Merlyn Brisbane
Excellent and clear . Thanks
I noticed some of the photos show the tubing coming out above the cuff. I thought it was supposed to be coming out the bottom, along the length of the arm. Which is correct and does it make a difference ?
My question too...going to try w/ the tube out the top next time & see if it makes a difference.
Down
Thought I was the only person who saw that...had to scroll down a bit but yes the cuff was upside down; the tube should be at the bottom by your elbow. The rest of the video was great information.
Thank you doctor 🙏
It helps me a lot thanks very much Dr
