Wrong arm position can overstate blood pressure. Infographic.

This is about human health; so important in order to be a good cat caregiver! The infographic explains how to avoid an overstated blood pressure check. It is down to the proper arm position. See the infographic. I have also found that a brisk walk before talking one's blood pressure results in a lower blood pressure which is something we all want. It is rare for the blood pressure to be too low. Normally it is too high because of a prevalence of obesity in Western societies.

P.S. please forgive the occasional typo. These articles are written at breakneck speed using Dragon Dictate. I have to prepare them in around 20 mins. Also, sources for news articles are carefully selected but the news is often not independently verified. And, I rely on scientific studies but they are not 100% reliable. Finally, (!) I often express an OPINION on the news. Please share yours in a comment.
