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 20
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.
