Many people more often feel with age the pulsing pain in temples, dizziness and other symptoms of jumps of arterial blood pressure. For control of the last in the house it is necessary to have the device measuring that pressure – a tonometer. From all variety of devices, more exact best of all proved mechanical tonometers, their indications while electronic measurement often is doubtful. When there is a need to make measurement, patients often guess how to make it it is correct, in particular, on what hand measure pressure – let's discuss this subject, leaning on councils of cardiologists.
On what hand it is correct to measure pressure?
Arterial blood pressure for the accuracy of result should be measured on both hands serially. And once will be not enough, it is necessary to make control measurement in two minutes and to remove an average value – it and will be exact.
Very important point in measurements - existence of divergences in indications from 10 mm of a mercury column above as presence of a disease can be the cause of this difference.
The indication of pressure on the left hand are data on work of lungs, hands and heart.
Pressure measured on the right hand says about how internals work, namely: liver, intestines, pancreas, stomach and bodies of a small pelvis. On what hand the indicators are higher, there and the problem is hidden, to the raised indicators gives an angiospasm of cervical department with the subsequent violation of blood circulation in a corresponding hemisphere of a brain. It can become the cause of a stroke or to be a consequence of the stratified aorta walls.
How it is necessary to measure pressure on a hand?
The problem with the choice on what hand it is necessary to measure pressure - is solved, now it is necessary to find out - how exactly, it is correct to measure it? To receive reliable result it is necessary:
- to measure pressure after five minutes of absolute rest, at the room temperature;
- to sit, leaning on a back of a sofa or a chair, not to cross at the same time a leg;
- to place a cuff so that it bottom edge did not reach the elbow hollow of an internal part of a hand on 2-3 cm;
- it is worth measuring arterial blood pressure on the expiration of half an hour after a meal, smoking and tonics.
Let pressure will be exclusive in norm side-altars, and tonometers it is never useful to you.
