A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood pressure : Hearing these blood pressure readings alone there is no need to be concerned. Blood pressure is properly taken by sitting, resting, with their feet on the floor, in a quiet room for five minutes, and not eating or smoking for at least 30 minutes. Healthcare decisions are not made based on on a few blood pressure alone but the entire person
