According to the American Heart Association, it is recommended to measure BP at bare arm for the most accurate result. (Source: How to accurately measure blood pressure at home | American Heart Association) Although there is still on-going discussion about whether to take BP measurement at bare arm or on clothing, InBody does not recommend BP reading to be taken while wearing thick clothes such as sweatshirt.

• It is recommended to measure the blood pressure before breakfast after getting up and urinating.
• If you measure in the evening is recommended to measure the blood pressure before bedtime.
• Since the blood pressure may fluctuate from 30 to 50 mmHg, it is recommended to measure at the same time every day.

• When measuring blood pressure with the cuff loosely wound, the blood pressure may be measured higher.
• In order to accurately measure it, tighten the cuff well so that there is no gap between the cuff and arm.
• Have you taken antihypertensive drugs (hypotensor) in the hospital? If you have taken antihypertensive drugs, the blood pressure may be heightened as the drug effect drops down gradually.

• Since you are psychologically stable at home, the blood pressure may usually show lower by 20 to 30 mmHg than measurement in the hospital.
• If the cuff position is higher than the heart during the measurement, the blood pressure may be measured low.
• Hold up a pillow or cushion under your arm.

• The blood pressure fluctuates continuously even in a day. For the correct blood pressure management, measure at the same time. The blood pressure may change as the following cases;
  
  • Within 1 hour after a meal or after having alcohol, coffee, black tea, smoking, taking a bath, exercise, or urination and defecation.
  • When talking or moving during the measurement, when being anxious or not relaxed, or when the measurement place is different than usual.
