🩺 Manual blood pressure measurement at HBPM home

🩺 Manual blood pressure measurement at home.

(Home Blood Pressure Monitoring: HBPM)

Self-measuring blood pressure at home is an important tool that allows you and your doctor to see a clearer picture of heart health than an occasional examination at the hospital.

❓ Why is it important to measure pressure at home?

✅ Reduce "hypertension when seeing a doctor" (White Coat Hypertension)

Many people are concerned when they see a doctor, making the pressure higher than it is.

Home measurements in relaxed conditions therefore yield more accurate results.

✅ Track treatment effectiveness.

Help assess whether the drug is used or behavioral adjustments.

Like diet and exercise, how well it works

✅ "Hidden Hypertension" was detected.

Some measure at regular hospitals, but at home back high.

Consistent measurements allow the malfunction to be found quickly.

✅ Prevent complications

Controlling the pressure to the right threshold.

It greatly reduces cardiovascular risk.

🧭 How to measure pressure at home accurately

Key Principles: Prepare - Pose - Save

1️⃣ Prepare before the temple.

• 🪑 Stay at least 5 minutes

• ☕ No tea, coffee, smoking and exercise for at least 30 minutes

• 🚻 urinate well before the temple.

2️⃣ The correct posture.

• Sit behind the back of the chair, your feet lie flat on the floor (❌ not cross the mall)

• Put your arms on the table. The cuffs are on the same level as the heart.

• During the temple, abstain from talking, abstain from playing on the phone

3️⃣ Frequency of measurement

• 📅 measure twice a day.

• 🌅 Morning: After waking up within 1 hour and after urinating

• 🌙 Evening: Bedtime

• ⏱️ each time measured 2 cycles (1-2 minutes apart)

👉 use the average as a record.

📊 Criteria for localization of blood pressure effect (for home measurement)

Pressure level Upper body pressure (mmHg) Lower body pressure (mmHg)

Normally < 120 and < 80

Relatively high 120-129 and < 80.

High Pressure Level 1 130-139 or 80-89

High pressure. Level 2. ± 140 or ± 90.

⚠️ Important warning

If measured ≥ 180 / 120 mmHg even once

Take a five-minute break and measure again. If still high, see a doctor immediately.
