Why many people think they’re having a crisis… when they’re not.
An extremely common mistake is taking your blood pressure incorrectly .
If you do:
-
Standing
-
Highly strung
-
With legs crossed
-
Without supporting the back
-
Talking
-
Or by using a small bracelet
The machine can score up to 30 points more than the actual score .
Correct way to measure it
-
Sit with your back supported
-
Flat feet on the ground
-
Relaxed arms
-
Mouth shut
-
Wait 5 minutes
-
Breathe slowly
-
Then measure
In many cases, the pressure will go down on its own when it’s done correctly.
