ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE CONTINUED
we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device
does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse
irregularities at an early stage.
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure can change on a daily basis. It is also affected
by the way you apply the cuff and the measurement position. Please take
measu-rements using the same method to ensure accuracy.
2. The variations in the pressure can be greater or smaller, depending on
the actual medicine taken.
3. Waiting at least 3 minutes for another measurement.
Why do I have different readings when I take my blood pressure at
the doctor's office and my home?
Blood pressure can fluctuate over a period of 24 hours based on: weather,
emotions, exercise, stress, etc.
When you take your blood pressure at home, make sure to pay close
attention to the following:
•
If the cuff is secured properly.
•
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
•
If the cuff is secured on the upper arm.
•
If you feel anxious.
You had better take 2-3 deep breaths. Advice: Wait at least 4-5 minutes until
you calm down.
Can you take measurement from both arms?
You may choose to measure both arms and then average the two readings
to get your blood pressure result. The norm is to measure the left arm closest
to your heart. For accuracy use the same method each time.
