The device is considered to be highly accurate, but even simple actions on your part will result in inaccurate readings.
Systematic measurement of arterial blood pressure values and regular monitoring of them will allow you to give a good assessment of your health status and vibrate the correct treatment tactics. It is especially important for hypertensive patients. This will help to keep the disease under control and ask your doctor for help in good time.
But are you sure that you know how to correctly measure your blood pressure? At first glance, this procedure does not seem to have any difficulties. However, please note that some preparation is required before you start the measurement, otherwise you may get spoiled results. As a result, you will be guided by the erratic readings of the tonometer during treatment.How to measure your blood pressure correctly
Five minutes of peace of mind before a blood pressure measurement is a must!
Twice a day before the procedure, avoid smoking, drinking water, tea or cola. (Drinks containing caffeine)Sit back, leaning on the back of the chair (important)!
Your hand is relaxed and is resting firmly on the table.
Keep your hand steady during the blood pressure measurement.
The cuffs must be burnt near the forearm with the center of the inflatable cuff directly above the brachial artery, and the lower edge of the cuff must be close to 2-3 cm above the lumbar spine.
Make sure that the inflatable bag is at the level of the heart.
Put your feet conveniently on the bed. Do not put your feet upside down during the procedure. The sac can be ruptured before measuring the arterial blood pressure.
The garment must not compress the shoulder. The results will be confounded if the blood pressure is measured by placing the cuff on the garment.
Do not change the tension 2 to 3 times at a time. You can do the measurement repeatedly only in 7-10 hovelins.
If you still decided to measure the pressure, do it on the other hand. A difference of 10-15 units (10-15 mmHg) does not worry you. This is normal.If these conditions are violated, the results will be distorted (the device will increase the readings). This in turn will lead to the necessity of taking a drug that is not necessary in this case.
Therefore, the results will collapse:
after ingestion of kava - by 11/5 mmHg.
alcohol by - 8/8 mmHg. Moreover, the effect of alcohol on AT digits lasts for 2-3 days!
Smoking at - 6/5 mmHg.
In the case of an overstrengthened sieve mucus - by 15/10 mm Hg.
In the absence of back support - systolic by 6-10 mmHg.
if there is no support for the arm - by 7/11 mm Hg.
Increase of arterial blood pressure due to stress is natural, but it is better to treat this disorder with calming drugs and procedures!
