Neurologist Shares Tips for Accurate Home Blood Pressure Measurement
High blood pressure is a leading global risk factor for heart disease and stroke, causing about 1.6 million deaths annually in India. Dr Priyanka Sehrawat, an AIIMS-trained neurologist, advises waiting at least 30 minutes before measuring blood pressure after activities like exercise, eating, caffeine intake, smoking, or alcohol consumption. She recommends measuring on the left arm and taking three readings to calculate an average for accuracy. These tips aim to help individuals monitor blood pressure effectively at home.
