Measure Blood Pressure

About Blood Pressure Monitoring

This is used to monitor blood pressures for known hypertensive patients and can be used as a guide to diagnose hypertension by your doctor.

Remember, early detection and early interventions save us from grievous complications like stroke.

There are daily situations that can increase your blood pressure like physical exercise, stress, posture and others.

Recommendations when taking your blood pressure:

• Do not smoke or drink alcoholic beverages before measurement.
• Do not perform physical exercises 30 minutes before measurement.
• Do not talk during the measurement.
• Make sure you have emptied your urinary bladder before measurement.
• You must be sitting with your back straight, feet flat on the floor and your arm at heart level.
• The device must be approved by a doctor and calibrated with a cuff appropriate for your arm size.
