What makes this method very convenient is that it uses only three things – a tape measure, some thread and a wedding ring.

Whenever you feel like your blood pressure is changing, follow the instructions below and take your blood pressure wherever you are.

1. Start by laying the tape measure on any arm from your wrist upwards.

2. Place the piece of thread through the ring.

3. When you start moving the ring slowly alongside the tape measure, the ring will first react to your diastolic, and then to your systolic pressure.

While a good technique is necessary when taking a blood pressure, having the proper equipment is equally important. So if you have any doubts, just pay a visit to your doctor.
