Once you have purchased and brought home your automatic Omron blood pressure monitor and mastered blood pressure taking techniques, you will want to get an average reading. Why? One blood pressure result is not the final say when measuring this important function of your body. Most doctors recommend that you not only do it every day, at the same time of day, but that you also take an average reading approximately every three days. You can also take your blood pressure three times and then get an average. If you do it this way, remember to wait a few minutes between each reading.

It is very easy to do this with your handy Omron blood pressure monitor. Follow these steps to do it.
