CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE

Your heart is located slightly below
your armpit.

your heart or if you cannot keep your
arm completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object such as a
folded towel to support your wrist as
shown in Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6
deep breaths.
