How to check your blood pressure at home properly

Sit quietly for five minutes before measuring, with your back supported and feet flat.

Rest your arm at heart level and use the right cuff size.

Take two readings a minute apart and log both in Waahii. Your care team will spot trends over time.

If your reading is above 180/120 with symptoms like chest pain or headache, seek emergency care.
