How should the hand be when measuring pressure? When I put it to my head or toes, it always shows differently. I don't have a guide anymore.

1 Answer

Answer :

For example here - http://www.sportstatus.cz/postava---navody/jak-merit-krevni-tlak - is a general guide on how to measure your pressure. It is important to proceed in the same way each time so that the measurement conditions do not change. ;-)
