● The anti-hypertensive drug the patient might be
using has lost its efficacy. Kindly adhere to your
doctor's instructions.
● The cuff might not be in the correct position. If the
cuff is not placed right, no arterial pressure value will
be obtained, and the blood pressure value might be
much higher than it is. Therefore, properly position
the cuff.
● The cuff is not tight enough. If the cuff is loose, the
compression force might fail to transmit to the artery,
causing the blood pressure value to be much higher
than it is. Therefore, re-adjust and tighten the cuff
further.
● The patient is not sitting correctly during
measurement. Slouching, tilting, bending, and sitting
cross-legged are not encouraged while taking blood
pressure measurements due to increased
abdominal pressure or the arm position being below
the heart. Kindly take readings in the correct posture.
Q3: When can I obtain better measurements?
Measurements are best taken in the mornings right
after you urinate or when your mind and body are
stable. We recommend taking readings at the same
time of the day, every time.
