When measuring your blood pressure, the measuring upper arm should be at the heart level for an accurate measurement. Your blood pressure reading may be higher if your sitting position is too high. It is important to have a height-adjustable chair so that the measurer can adjust the chair level accordingly.

The measuring arm should be inserted into the device with your elbow placed on the elbow point. Also, the height of the chair should be adjusted so that the measuring upper arm is at the heart level.
