When you use an digital BP instrument , ideally you should be seated in a chair with your legs uncrossed ,feet on the ground,back rested and measuring arm at the heart level.Take 3 readings 1 minute apart ,consider the average of last 2 readings.Home monitoring of the BP is fairly accurate, keeping in your mind that 5-10 mm fluctuation is common.

Please consult a General Physician in your area. He can tell you how to record the BP and even give a demonstration. A description on Practo may take about 15-20 minutes to write and no demonstration can be given.
I hope you got the User pamphlet ( giving instructions about how to use the equipment).

Hi dear
U should try to keep the apparatus at heart level.
Anyways the BP does fluctuate during the day and even after changing the position and if the difference is not very much there is nothing to be afraid about.
Please consult for further queries
Take care
