A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows
through them.
Caution

Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, or beats, it
sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and
pressure increases. This is called your systolic
pressure.
When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood
pressure decreases. This is called your diastolic
pressure.
When a doctor takes your blood pressure, he or she
measures both your systolic and diastolic pressures
and records them as numbers. For example, if your
blood pressure reading is 126/76 (126 over 76), your
systolic is 126 and your diastolic is 76. The numbers
are calculated in millimetres of mercury and recorded
as 126/76 mm Hg.
These two numbers provide important information
about your health. The more difficult it is for your blood
to flow through your blood vessels, the higher both
numbers will be. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called
hypertension (High blood pressure).
The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically measures your systolic and diastolic blood
pressure for you, then displays the results on easy-to-read digital panel!
People with a condition that causes circulatory problems (diabetes, kidney disease,
arteriosclerosis, or poor peripheral circulation) may get lower readings with wrist type
monitor than with a blood pressure monitor that is used on the upper arm. Please consult
your physician to determine if your wrist blood pressure accurately reflects your actual
blood pressure.
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure fluctuates from day to day and
minute to minute according to your body's needs. For example, when you are exercising or
angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping your blood
pressure decreases. These fluctuations are completely normal. This blood pressure monitor
is especially helpful when tracking changes in your blood pressure because it takes just
seconds to use.
