What is the best way to take your blood pressure to get the most accurate results?

Jump

  • From the WHO:

    1. Use validated automated monitors or, if not available, calibrated aneroid devices.
    2. Measure blood pressure in a quiet place.
    3. Follow the protocol below:
    • Don’t have a conversation. Talking or active listening adds up to 10 mmHg
    • Support arm at heart level. Unsupported arm adds up to 10 mmHg
    • Put the cuff on bare arm. Thick clothing adds up to 5-50 mmHg
    • Use correct cuff size. Cuff too small adds up to 2-10 mmHg
    • Support feet. Unsupported feet adds up to 6 mmHg
    • Keep legs uncrossed. Crossed legs adds up to 2-8 mmHg
    • Have empty bladder. Full bladder adds up to 10 mmHg
    • Support back. Unsupported back adds to mmHg

    • Any Android smartwatch?
