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 29 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 noninvasive blood pressure
reading as it relates to the American Heart Association 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.
