What u can take before a blood pressure test to get a good reading?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A deep breath: Before taking a blood pressure reading, one can take a slow deep breath or two, relax a moment, and imagine a calm and pleasant scene (such as sitting on the warm sand at the beach, watching the waves, listening to the birds).
