Advice:
In general,
blood
pressure
measurements
are lower for the second
measurement because you are less nervous and are more tranquil.
For people who easily get tense, measuring twice each time is very effective.
When two measurements
are taken, normally the smaller measurement is
stored.
When taking two measurements, always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after
the first measurement before taking the second measurement.
