Quick answer: Sit quietly for five minutes with your back supported and feet flat, put the cuff on a bare upper arm at heart level, and take two readings a minute apart, morning and evening. Under 120/80 is healthy; over 180/120 with symptoms is an emergency.
The cuff
An upper-arm cuff that fits your arm.
The routine
- No caffeine or exercise 30 minutes before.
- Empty bladder.
- Do not talk during the reading.
The numbers
See the NHLBI for categories, and share your log with your doctor.
Supplements and readings
If you start CardioFlush, keep logging. Caffeine and licorice could push readings up.
