General instructions for self-measurement
6. Always take the measurement in a
calm and relaxed state.
You are recommended to check your
blood pressure twice a day – in the
morning on getting up and in the eve-
ning once you have relaxed after
work.
7. Always measure your blood pressure
from the wrist with the higher blood
pressure values (where not required
otherwise (see page 52)).
To do this, measure the blood
pressure first in both wrists and the-
reafter always from the wrist with
the higher blood pressure.
