Your blood pressure chart
Achieving or maintaining normal blood pressure levels reduces your risk of developing many diseases.
Monitoring your blood pressure enables you to validate how prescription drugs and lifestyle changes affect your blood pressure.
How and when to take your blood pressure
- Sitting down quietly with your arm leaning against a table
- After being at rest for 5 minutes
- 30 minutes after physical activity (for example, a long walk)
- 1 hour after drinking coffee or a product containing caffeine, after eating a stimulant such as chocolate or after smoking
- 2 hours after a meal.
