Gradually boost your activity in spring and stay healthy thanks to medisana’s state-of-the-art blood pressure monitors

Neuss, 03.05.2022. Springtime reawakens our spirits, and many of us enjoy taking the opportunity to exercise outdoors again. Regular exercise in the fresh air not only keeps you fit but also makes you feel good. However, don’t overdo it at the beginning. When increasing your activity levels you should take your time and allow your body to adjust gradually. When the weather changes from the cold of winter to milder spring temperatures, this can cause our blood vessels to dilate and thus make our blood pressure drop. Under certain circumstances, this can lead to fatigue or circulatory problems, especially in elderly people or those who are sensitive to the weather. It is therefore advisable to try to maintain a healthy blood pressure and to check your own measurements regularly.

So how does it work exactly? And what should users watch out for when monitoring their blood pressure to make sure they’re doing it correctly? Here are some important tips for taking a blood pressure reading on your upper arm, as recommended by the German Heart Foundation: - Above all, you need to be calm when taking a blood pressure reading. If you are excited, stressed or physically active, readings tend to be too high. - Place your arm on the table and relax as much as possible. - Make sure your legs are uncrossed – when your legs are crossed, your blood pressure rises due to the tension in your muscles. - It is essential to position the arm cuff correctly. It should always be at heart height. If is it positioned lower than your heart, the reading will be too high; if higher, the reading will be too low. - Affix the cuff over your bare skin (not over clothing) and make sure that your upper arm is not constricted by tight clothing. - Make sure that the inflatable part of the cuff is on the inside of your upper arm and the fastening on the outside. - Make sure that the cuff isn’t too tight. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your arm. - Don’t talk, laugh or watch loud TV while measuring your blood pressure. - It’s best to take three readings, one after the other, with a break of about half a minute in between. Just like when you go to the doctor, you should only take the last two readings into account – add them together and divide by two to get your average reading.
