Step-by-step correct formula to check blood pressure
Step-1: When you are ready to check your blood pressure, first of all, stay calm and relax in the environment for 5 minutes.

Step-2: Keep your feet flat on the floor and sit comfortably by supporting your back.

Step-3: In the automatic BP machine, guidelines are given to run it. Follow this instruction. According to this, wrap the cuff tightly on the top of your arm with the BP machine.

Step-4: When the cuff is properly set on the arm, press the start button on the automatic monitor to measure blood pressure.

Step-5: When the monitor shows your blood pressure reading, the cuff will inflate and then slowly deflate.

Step-6: Note both the systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom) readings.

Step-7: Now stay in a calm and relaxed posture for some time and repeat the same process. Then note down the reading of the machine.

Step-8: Wait for some time after taking the reading twice and repeat the same process. Usually, people make this mistake. Only measure once which method is wrong.

Step-9: Now take the average of all three readings. The average measurement will be your actual blood pressure.
