How Do I Evaluate My Blood Pressure - Microlife BP W100 Manual

 Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your doctor.
 Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is
subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should
therefore take your measurements in the same quiet conditions
and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two measurements per
day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
 It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession
to produce significantly different results.
 Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in the
pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these
situations are completely different.
 Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than just
one single measurement.
 Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
 If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.
 If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 5.»), measurements taken with this device should only
be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency
of heart pacemakers!

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

Table for classifying blood pressure values in adults in accordance
with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2003. Data in mmHg.
Range Systolic
1. blood pressure < 120
normal
2. blood pressure 120 - 129
normal
3. blood pressure 130 - 139
slightly high
4. blood pressure too 140 - 159
high
5. blood pressure far 160 - 179
too high
6. blood pressure ≥180
dangerously high
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example:
a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indicates «blood
pressure too high».
