This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.
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 Index 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 page 21 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 to help you understand
your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to
the NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical
examination 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.
