What to Do Before Taking Aneroid Blood Pressure
Before using your aneroid blood pressure monitor, make sure you have not consumed caffeine or alcohol or smoked a cigarette up to 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure. Also, use the restroom before getting your blood pressure taken. Rest for three to five minutes and make sure your ankles and legs are not crossed. Pur your arm straight out supported by a table or desk. Make sure you place the cuff smoothly and snugly around your arm so you get an accurate measurement. These are just a few things that are important in order to get a clear reading for the doctor.
