High Blood Pressure - American Heart Association
What is high blood pressure or hypertension? The American Heart Association provides information on high blood pressure, low blood pressure, and how to monitor, treat and prevent high blood pressure.
Measure your blood pressure twice a day — in the morning before taking your medications and in the evening before going to bed. Take at least two readings one minute apart each time. For best results, sit comfortably with both feet on the floor for at least five minutes before taking a measurement. Sit calmly and don’t talk.
1 PREPARE. Avoid cafeine, cigarettes and other stimulants 30 minutes before you measure your blood pressure. Wait at least 30 minutes after a meal. If you’re on blood pressure medication, measure your BP before you take your medication. Empty your bladder beforehand.
