🩺 Did you know?

Getting an accurate blood pressure reading is really important for your health. Small things like talking, crossing your legs, or drinking tea/coffee before your appointment can affect the result.

Here are a few simple tips before your blood pressure check:

✔️ Rest for 5 minutes beforehand
✔️ Avoid caffeine and exercise for 30 minutes before
✔️ Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor
✔️ Keep your arm supported at heart level
✔️ Try not to talk during the reading

These small steps help us give you the most accurate reading possible and support better heart health for our community ❤️
