在家监测血压
如何使用家用血压计
- 还是. Discuss how to use your home blood pressure monitor with your health care professional. 不要吸烟, drink caffeinated beverages or exercise within 30 minutes before measuring your blood pressure. Empty your bladder 和 ensure at least five minutes of quiet rest before measurements.
- 坐正确. Sit with your back straight 和 supported (on a dining chair, rather than a sofa). Your feet should be flat on the floor 和 your legs should not be crossed. Your arm should be supported on a flat surface, such as a table, with the upper arm at heart level. Make sure the bottom of the cuff is placed directly above the bend of the elbow. Check your monitor's instructions for an illustration or have your health care professional show you how.
- 每天在同一沙巴足球体育平台测量. It’s important to take the readings at the same time each day, such as morning 和 evening. 最好每天做一次阅读, ideally beginning two weeks after a change in treatment 和 during the week before your next appointment.
- 多次读数并记录结果. Each time you measure, take two readings one minute apart 和 record the results using a 打印(PDF) 跟踪器. If your monitor has built-in memory to store your readings, take it with you to your appointments. Some monitors may also allow you to upload your readings to a secure website after you register your profile.
- 不要把尺寸放在衣服上.

如果你的血压读数很高
- If your blood pressure is higher than 180/120 mm Hg 和 you are experiencing signs of possible organ damage such as chest pain, 呼吸急促（气促）, 背部疼痛, 麻木和缺点, 视力改变或说话困难, 不要等着看你的压力是否会自行减轻. 打911，这是紧急情况.
- 一个单一的高读数并不会立即引起警报. If you get a reading that is slightly or moderately higher than normal, take your blood pressure a second time 和 write the results of the two measurements down. Consult your health care professional to verify if there’s a health concern or whether there may be any issues with your monitor.
- If your blood pressure readings suddenly exceed 180/120 mm Hg, wait five minutes 和 test again. If your readings are still unusually high, contact your health care professional immediately. 你可能正在经历 高血压危象.
啊哈推荐
The 美国心脏协会 recommends home monitoring for all people with 高血压 to help the health care professional determine whether 治疗 工作. 家庭监控, 或者自测血压, 这不是你定期去看医生的替代品吗. 如果你有处方 药物治疗 降低你的血压, don't stop taking your 药物治疗 without consulting your health care professional, even if your blood pressure readings are in the normal range during home monitoring.
选择家用血压计
The 美国心脏协会 recommends an automatic, cuff-style, bicep (upper arm) monitor.
- Wrist 和 finger monitors are not recommended because they yield less reliable readings.
- 选择一个经过验证的监视器. If you are unsure, ask your health care professional or pharmacist for advice or find options at validatebp.org(链接在新窗口中打开).
- 为老年人选择血压计时, 孕妇或儿童, 确保对这些条件进行了验证.
- Make sure the cuff fits — measure around your upper arm 和 choose a monitor that comes with the correct cuff size.
一旦你购买了你的显示器，把它带到你的下一次预约
Have your health care professional check to see that you are using it correctly 和 getting the same results as the equipment in the office. Plan to bring your monitor in once a year to make sure the readings are accurate.
家庭血压监测可能特别有用:
- 任何被诊断患有 高血压也被称为高血压.
- Individuals starting 高血压 treatment to determine its effectiveness.
- 需要密切监测的人，特别是患有 高血压的危险因素 和/或与高血压有关的情况.
- 孕妇 经历妊娠高血压和/或子痫前期.
- 评估潜在的错误读数，例如:
- People who only have high readings at the health care professional's office (“white coat” hypertension).
- People who only have high readings at home but not at the health care professional’s office (“masked” hypertension).
- 注意:有 心房纤颤 或其他 心律失常 may not be good c和idates for home monitoring because electronic home blood pressure devices may not be able to give accurate measurements. Ask your health care professional to recommend a monitoring method that works for you.
左臂和右臂的血压
Several studies have been done to determine what is a normal variation between right 和 left arm. In general, any difference of 10 mm Hg or less is considered normal 和 is not a cause for concern.
为什么要记血压日志?
一次血压测量就像一张快照. 它只能告诉你当时的血压. A record of readings taken over time provides a “time-lapse” picture of your blood pressure that can help you 与你的医生合作 以确保你的 治疗 减少 高血压 工作.
