Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don't
have high readings. If your numbers stay above the normal range most of the
time, you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings fall on
this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator that
automatically compares each reading to the defined levels and provides a
helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. See Risk Category Index section for more information
on this feature.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist
you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for convenience
in helping you to understand your noninvasive blood pressure reading as it
relates to the American Heart Association®
(AHA
2017) information. They are
not a substitute for a medical examination or diagnosis by your physician. It is
important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will
tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you
may actually be considered to be at risk.
