You can get the most out of Alertive’s Remote
Patient Monitoring program by taking frequent,
accurate readings. Before taking a reading, try to
avoid activities that raise your blood pressure.
DON’T DRINK CAFFEINE, smoke, or exercise within
30 minutes of taking a reading. Empty your
bladder before a measurement. A full bladder
can add 10–15 points to your reading.
SIT IN A CHAIR AT A TABLE during the reading. Sit
with both feet flat on the floor without crossing
your legs. Rest your le arm on the table so that
your elbow is at the same height as your heart.
Sit quietly for a few minutes before taking a
measurement.
DON’T TALK or move during the measurement.
Don’t take a measurement RIGHT AFTER YOU
WAKE UP. Blood pressure is oen highest early
in the morning.
Make sure that the cu you are using is the
CORRECT SIZE FOR YOUR ARM.
Try to take at least TWO READINGS DAILY (MORNING
AND EVENING). This provides your doctor with a
bigger picture of your blood pressure.
Try to measure your blood pressure around
the same time every day. If you are on blood
pressure medication, TAKE READINGS 30–60
MINUTES AFTER TAKING YOUR MEDICATION.
