measuring blood pressure

- High blood pressure

high blood pressure is often associated with healthy lifestyle habits such as
smoking,
- drinking alcohol, being overweight and not exercising. High blood
pressure can increase your risk of developing heart disease and kidney
disease.
To get a picture of blood pressure close to the actual condition, the
measurement should be done in the morning or before the body does the
activity / activity.

- Do not hold urine.

It is best to urinate before taking a blood pressure measurement. A bladder full of urine can affect
the measurement results. Coffee is a diuretic that will spur water out through the kidneys.
Therefore, do not drink coffee if you plan to take blood pressure measurements.
