Changes In Blood Pressure; Heart Rhythm Disorders - Hyundai BPM 700 Instruction Manual

CHANGES IN BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood pressure is different for each person and it is influenced by many factors (physical activity,
stress, temperature changes, smoking, food, the time of the day etc.). Normal blood pressure
is lower at night, when you are sleeping or relaxing, and it is higher during the day. Daily fluctua-
tion of 30/50 mmHg is normal. Blood pressure increases with age and it also depends of the
way of life. It is a well-known fact that stress, obesity, excessive intake of salt and alcohol con-
tribute to higher blood pressure. Blood pressure taken at the doctor´s surgery is only an instan-
taneous value. Regular checking of your blood pressure at home reflects better the actual blood
pressure values in everyday circumstances and it can provide valuable information to your GP.
Important notice:
– Self-check means a check, not a diagnosis or treatment.
– Unusual values must always be consulted with the doctor.
– The displayed values of heartbeat are not a suitable way to check pacemaker frequency!
– If you take any medicine please consult with your doctor the best time for measuring your
blood pressure. Under no circumstances should you change the medicine dosage prescribed
by your doctor.
– If you suffer from e.g. heart arrhythmia, narrowing of arteries, arteriosclerosis or other circula-
tory problems, cardiovascular disease; if you use pacemaker, if you are diabetic or a pregnant
woman; if you suffer from cramps in upper limbs; consult the use of this blood pressure moni-
tor with your physician because the accuracy of measurement may be affected under those
circumstances.
– This device was designed for measuring blood pressure of individuals over 15 years of age.
If you apply the device on a child´s arm, the measuring will not be correct. Please consult
with a paediatrician on how to take children´s blood pressure.

Heart rhythm disorders

This device can identify possible heart rhythm disorders during the measurement (symbol
appear on the display). It can be a sign of arrhythmia which is a disease where the heart rhythm
is irregular because of disturbances of the bioelectrical system which regulates the heart activity.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slower or faster pulse rate) can be caused by
a heart disease, old age, physical disposition, stress or lack of sleep. An irregular heart beat oc-
curs when the heart beat deviates by more than 25 % from the average heart beat rate. Should
the symbol appear frequently while measuring your blood pressure, please consult your physician.
Heart arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a medical examination. An own diagnosis and treat-
ment (e.g. changing the medicine dosage) based on the measurement results can be dangerous.
