Using your Blood Pressure Monitor
Your first test
The British Hypertension Society (BHS) recommends that for your first test, you test both
your arms. (Note: Ensure you do not suffer from any medical conditions which will prevent
you from having your blood pressure measured in both arms). This will determine which arm
should be used for future measurements. Take note of your systolic (high number) reading
on both arms. The arm which gives the higher systolic reading should be used in the future
for testing.
Example
Left arm: 132 (systolic)
86 (diastolic)
Right arm: 128 (systolic)
84 (diastolic)
Then use your left arm
