The guidelines for blood pressure monitoring recommend using a validated, automatic blood pressure cuff and taking measurements at the same time each day, ideally in the morning before medication and in the evening. Ensure you are seated comfortably with your back supported, feet flat on the floor, and arm at heart level. It's also advised to avoid caffeine, exercise, and smoking for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
