your physician detect any extreme variations in your blood pressure and thus treat you accordingly. • Morning Hypertension (>135/85 mmHg): Recently, several studies have identified elevated cardiovascular risks (heart failure, stroke, angina) associated with “morning hypertension”. There is a typical rise in blood pressure during the physiological changes from sleep to arising for the day. -

• Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or if anything appears unusual. • Ensure that children do not use this device unsupervised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed. • Using the unit in the immediate vicinity of mobile phones, microwave appliances or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may result in impaired functioning. -
Page 7: Normal Blood Pressure Values
1.4 Normal Blood Pressure Values When rested, and measuring your blood pressure at home, measurements with diastolic pressure readings above 85 mmHg or systolic readings over 135 mmHg are considered high. If you obtain consistent readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. -

b) Why is the doctor’s reading different from the reading taken at home? Your blood pressure can vary due to the environment (temperature, nervous condition). When measuring blood pressure at the doctor’s office, it is possible for blood pressure to increase due to anxiety and tension, this is known as “White Coat Hypertension”. -
