How to Test Blood Pressure at Home: A Complete Guide for Better Heart Health

High blood pressure (hypertension) affects millions of people worldwide. Regular monitoring is the key to staying ahead of serious health issues. In this guide, we’ll explain how to test blood pressure correctly, what numbers mean, and how new technology like the Fitvii GT5 Pro Max smartwatch makes it easier than ever to track your health.

Why Testing Blood Pressure Matters

Blood pressure that stays above 130/80 mmHg can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. Since hypertension often has no symptoms, testing regularly is the best way to protect your health.


How to Test Blood Pressure Correctly

  1. Choose the Right Device
    Traditional cuff monitors and smartwatches are common. Make sure your device is validated.

  2. Sit in a Comfortable Position
    Rest for 5 minutes before testing. Keep your back straight, feet flat, and arm supported.

  3. Place the Cuff or Watch Properly
    For cuffs, wrap it snugly around your upper arm. For smartwatches like Fitvii GT5 Pro Max, wear it just above the wrist bone.

  4. Stay Still and Relaxed
    Avoid talking or moving while the test is running.

  5. Record and Track Your Readings
    Log results daily to see trends over time.
