Are you checking your Blood Pressure daily? That's great!

But are you doing it correctly? Small mistakes can lead to incorrect reports!

Common mistakes made unknowingly while measuring BP at home:

- Not resting for 5 minutes before measuring - Talking or moving during measurement - Using the wrong size cuff - Placing the cuff over clothing - Not providing proper support to the back and arm - Measuring immediately after exercise or meals - Taking only one measurement - Not measuring at the same time every day - Not keeping records - Panicking over a single high reading

Remember: Correct readings lead to correct treatment decisions!
