1. Multiple measurements are required to take the average. The blood pressure of a normal person is at its peak between 8-10 am and 4-6 pm. At night, the blood pressure drops by more than 10% compared to the day, and the blood pressure at a certain moment cannot represent the overall blood pressure level. Therefore, it is recommended to take the average of multiple measurements as the reference value for blood pressure levels.
2. Test after waking up in the morning. The best time to measure blood pressure is after waking up in the morning, when a person is in a resting state and can more accurately reflect their blood pressure level. After waking up in the morning and before waking up, due to a full night's sleep, the metabolic activity of the body is at its lowest, and the blood pressure measured at this time is the most accurate. Therefore, it is best for hypertensive patients not to flip or get out of bed after waking up in the morning, and to have someone around them measure their blood pressure.
3. Measure at the same time, in the same environment, and under the same emotional state. Due to the constant changes in human blood pressure, it is necessary to measure blood pressure at the same time, in the same environment, and under the same emotional state.
4. Rest for 10-15 minutes before the test. Before using an electronic blood pressure monitor to measure blood pressure, one should rest for 10-15 minutes to eliminate fatigue and excitement. After exercise, it is necessary to rest for 30 minutes. The indoor ambient temperature should be maintained at around 20 ℃. Take 3-4 deep breaths before measuring blood pressure.
