Blood pressure : When checking blood pressure properly in the clinic a person should be sitting, resting, with their feet on the floor, in a quiet room for five minutes, and not eating or smoking at least 30 minutes. Blood pressure changes easily from several stimulants. One of the best way or evaluating blood pressure is an ambulatory blood pressure reading that also checks blood pressures when sleeping.
