what to pay attention to when doing blood pressure examination

be sure to relax when taking blood pressure. When measuring blood pressure, you must be in a quiet state. If you have just done slight activities, you should rest for 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, measuring blood pressure immediately will make the blood pressure reading falsely high.

I feel nervous walking around or coming to the hospital, which makes the measured blood pressure a little abnormal. In such a case, the doctor will suggest that you can rest for 15 minutes and measure after calming down.

it is best not to eat, hold back urine, and avoid tension, anxiety, supercooling, overheating, etc. within half an hour before pressure measurement. These factors will affect the accuracy of measurement.

interpretation of blood pressure test data

1, judgment standard

the standard value of normal blood pressure should not exceed (130 / 90mmHg), or not exceed (30 / 15mmhg) compared with basic blood pressure. If the blood pressure is higher than 140 / 90mmHg at least twice a week, and the normal blood pressure is very normal, we should pay attention to the possibility of hypertension.

2. Multiple measurement results should be taken.

if the value is too high once, don’t be too nervous. The value of blood pressure will be affected by factors such as exercise and posture. At this time, you can sit still and rest for 10-15 minutes and then measure it again. However, when the blood pressure reading is higher than the normal level and remains high for several times in a row, it will attract the attention of doctors, and follow-up examination is needed to find hidden diseases.
