- In this video, I give 12 tips on how to get an accurate blood pressure measurement. There are many factors that can affect a blood pressure reading, including mood, body position, activity, among several others. Getting the most accurate blood pressure measurement is very important for proper diagnosis and treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension) and borderline blood pressure. Following these 12 simple steps, you will ensure a much more accurate blood pressure measurement and have confidence in your blood pressure readings. Whether you are a healthcare provider or just someone who checks their own blood pressure at home, these tips will help to ensure accurate blood pressure measurements every time.

I may be offering this link to my doctor's office. Lots of misses from your 12 points. Good work.
Great advice. Love your blood pressure videos. Too bad most doctors and medical places don't follow this advice. I have white coat syndrome and my pressure is always elevated there.
Thank you! You’re right, there’s definitely room for improvement even in healthcare settings. Thanks for your feedback and insight.
Good info Sandra! There's some tips I didn't even know would have a negative impact with regards to an accurate reading. Great to see you again! 💯
Thanks Rob! Yea there’s so many little factors to think about. I appreciate your feedback! Hope you’re doing well! 😊
This is very good information. Thank you
I’m happy to hear that, thank you! 😊💕
Hi...great tips, some I never knew before. Thanks for sharing. Ps. Loveeee the color scrubs. 😃
Thanks Kavita!! Always love your feedback. ☺️❤️
I remember my last Dr. mentioned coffee doesn't affect my heart rate when it was pumping higher than normal.. I never returned after that lol thanks for this, who needs health insurance, when we have you.
Just send him my video. 😉 TH-cam is great for education!
@@thesunnyedge I would, but I don't have her info. I've been better off taking care of myself eating clean, many greens, vegetables, doing exercise, and getting plenty of sleep. Having a nurse like you wouldn't hurt though 😏
You truly are amazing at what you do and who you are, keep it up 👏
Yesss, taking preventive measures towards health is the best medicine! Awesome to hear about your healthy lifestyle! And thank you, that’s very kind. ☺️
Taking my bp when I’m not stressed or anxious would mean taking it while I’m asleep 😁
I had to go under for an op a few years back and bless them they had to cancel because my bp would not go low enough for the anaesthetist to be happy. All good now of course.
Thanks for the great video, very good tips 👍
Haha yea I’ve definitely seen stress and anxiety wreak some havoc on blood pressures over the years. Did they reschedule your op soon after I hope?
@@thesunnyedge Yep all sorted soon after. Propranolol being the hero lol.
Oh good 😅 Glad to hear it all worked out.
My cardiologist’s LPN needs to watch this video because she definitely does not follow even how my cardiologist told me she wants me to take my blood pressure. The LPN had me sitting on the examination table, I’m short so my legs and feet were dangling, the LPN did not let me remove my light weigh long sleeve. My diastolic number is 55 or lower when I take my blood pressure at home and I have 2 blood pressure machines so if I question the reading I can take it with the other machine. My cardiologist told me when I started seeing her how she wanted me to take my blood pressure and I follow her instructions BUT the LPN does not. When I go to see my cardiologist, the way the LPN takes my blood pressure it is always a normal or little high reading not at all like I get at home so I’m a little worried.
👍🏾👍🏾
😊❤️
Happy new Year 2022.
Thank you! Happy new year to you too!! 🎉
@@thesunnyedge Thank you.
I'm almost always told mine is "slightly" low. Which has always struck me as odd as I admittedly don't lead the healthiest of lifestyles and have a family history of high BP. Kinda wonder now if it's just partially linked to inaccurate readings 🤔
Hi😃 it's my birthday on Friday. 😃 I am 56. It goes by to fast.
Well happy birthday!!! 😄🎉🎂🎈Wishing you the best year ahead! 😊
@@thesunnyedge thanks. Your to kind. 🤣🤣
