Measure your blood pressure in both arms initially to compare readings. Use the arm with the higher reading consistently for future measurements. Ideally, use the arm your healthcare provider uses.

HOW TO TAKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE:
1- Wait 30 Minutes: Avoid measuring blood pressure within 30 minutes of eating, smoking, drinking caffeinated beverages, or exercising, as these activities can temporarily raise blood pressure.

2- Relax for 5 Minutes: Sit at a table with your back supported, arms on the table, and feet flat on the floor. Do not cross your legs, and use the restroom if needed, as these can affect readings.

3- Position the Cuff: Extend your arm with the palm facing up. Place the cuff 2 fingers above your elbow, ensuring it's snug but allows you to insert 2 fingertips under it.

4- Align Cuff Properly: Some cuffs have alignment markers; follow the machine’s instructions carefully to ensure accurate readings.

5- Prepare for Reading: Once ready, remain still without moving, chewing, talking, or laughing.

6- Take Two Readings: After the first reading, wait a minute and take a second reading. If the first reading is significantly higher, take an additional reading.

7- Monitor Your Blood Pressure: Understand your readings and lifestyle factors. Consider using a blood pressure monitoring app for assistance.

BLOOD PRESSURE NUMBERS:
Know your numbers! Here's the scoop: For most folks, your blood pressure at home should ideally be below 130/80mmHg unless told otherwise by your medical provider. If it's higher than that, it's crucial to chat with your healthcare provider. Elevated blood pressure can up your chances of heart problems, kidney issues, and strokes, so it's wise to keep an eye on it!

Love your Videos Sir! Always simple, reasonable, easy to understand, and to the point. I have high blood pressure and my NP put me on Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 MG and Lisinopril 10 MG daily, and after 3+ weeks I was experiencing a lot of side effects like extreme fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks, Insomnia, and just plain not feeling well at all. My NP just told me I have to get used to the meds and try eating more rice…. So after I looked up these meds online and saw I wasn’t the only one experiencing these side effects from these blood pressure medications, I decided to stop them on my own, go cold turkey. And I’m just focusing on losing weight and eating right to lower my blood pressure naturally now.

Why do the readings differ so much...if i take 3 readings (in 10 minutes, as per instructions), the first reading is very high, the second and third readings are much lower and very close together?ie. 122/75, then 110/60 and 112/59
