HELPFUL TIPS

• Genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, stress, muscular development, certain medications, or even time of day can influence blood pressure.
• Avoid continuous readings – Wait for a minimum of 1 to 1.5 minutes between readings to allow blood flow in the arm to return to normal. At least 15 minutes between blood pressure measurements is ideal.
• Home blood pressure measurement may vary as much as 10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor’s office.
