UHCOP: How to Measure Your Blood Pressure at Home

[@Corkfish1]

Amazing what a difference even a slight variation in how your arm is positioned can make.

[@Null_Island]

Exactly. By sitting with your back tilted forward,it shows relatively higher blood pressure

[@ANOOPBAL]

Rolling up the sleeves will increase your BP by around 10-40 units. Wear half sleeves so that you dont roll up!

[@kevinspears10531]

Not true it depends on how snug your shirt is

[@LinDa-vx3ly]

BEST ONE I'VE SEEN.❤

[@ulysees08]

Mine drops significantly when I pull a chair up to the kitchen top and rest my arm there. I judge that to be heart height. When I have it checked at a clinic they ask for you to rest your arm by your side. This obviously increases the reading.

[@eddieraythompson]

This is true !just got mine checked today . Had mines arm by the side . 150/101. Got home checked it “properly” 125/86. I am honestly very confused as to why there is not a universal way to check this accurately

[@initnotofit]

​@eddieraythompson me too. 139/98 when I had been checking 2x a day at home and getting 109/73 and never higher than 121/80. Suddenly at the docs they rush me to a room sit down no rest strap on the cuff my arm just dangling. Yep, so wrong. No wonder my doctor told me he wasn't worried about it.

the video is very detailed thank you

[@twinomujunisavias7322]

excellent

[@edwardsmith7396]

I liked the chart you used to record readings? Can you provide a copy? Thanks.

[@saigo1718]

1) which arm should we use? The left arm seems to be always higher? 2) can we use the right arm? 3) the first reading is always higher than the 2nd & 3rd reading. Do we need to take avg of 3 readings for accuracy? 4) The fluctuation of 3 reading and left and right arm can be alot ofdifference. Eg. Taking at same time.. Left arm 160/90 then 140/85 then 130/80 Right arm 145/85 then 130/80 then 125/78… In this case how to record? Tksss

[@ANOOPBAL]

Usually both arms. 2 readings separated by 1 min and average. And use the highest reading of the either arm consistently. Most automated BP devices takes an avg of 2 or 3 when you take one.

[@TheSkywalkerTB]

​@@ANOOPBAL why on Earth would you use the HIGHER reading? LOL

[@quickandhealthyrecipes6431]

The normal blood pressure is 120/80, but a little higher or lower than 120/80 is also good.

[@BigIndianBindi-jy1cz]

nope. it's 130/90. they changed the BP guidelines because they wanna make more money selling BP meds.

[@jtcustomknives]

This is false it’s 130/90 as thy changed the number against recommended advice

[@christianjakovceski4712]

Isn’t it supposed to be lower? I’m always getting different reading depending on how tall the table is

[@mezbahuddinaqib4043]

Same here man.....i am very confused....the lower my hand is the higher the pressure shows

[@christianjakovceski4712]

Mezbahuddin Aqib it has to be leveled with your heart the lower the arm the higher the pressure

[@Vict0reeaH]

her arm is way higher than it should be

[@billyb4790]

@@Vict0reeaH why do you say that? Isn't it supposed to be level with the heart?

Does putting the blood pressure cuff to the neck will get a better accurate reading?

If I do my left arm my BP is high. If I do my right arm it’s normal. Am I doing anything wrong?

[@Null_Island]

It's normal.We have more blood pressure in left arm than right.
