you should wrap that blood pressure cuff around your johnson right before sex
make sure you go to the doctor or have a nurse check it. some stores are not accurate. Also, make sure you are relaxed before it is checked. In addition, have them check it twice. Blood pressure readings can change in a matter of seconds. God Bless!!!
Blood pressure can be affected by several factors, so it is important to standardize the environment when blood pressure is measured. For at least one hour before blood pressure is taken, avoid eating, strenuous exercise (which can lower blood pressure), smoking, and caffeine intake. Other stresses may alter the blood pressure and need to be considered when blood pressure is measured.
If you are taking it at home on your own you should do it throughout the day and write down your times.
Make sure when you do take it that you are at a resting heart rate. This means you have not just exercised or done anything strenuous. A resting rate would be while watching TV or reading a book etc…
