Advice on measuring your blood
pressure
Using your unit regularly to measure your blood
pressure will give you a clear overview of your blood
pressure. Everybody's blood pressure changes
constantly.
Fluctuations may be caused by mental and physical
factors (such as fear, exertion, smoking, caffeine and
stress). Blood pressure can also be affected by the time
of day, time of year and temperature.
Arrhythmia can also produce an imprecise result. If you
suffer from arrhythmia please consult your doctor to
find out if you should be using this device.
Note the following points so that the values give a
realistic image of your blood pressure:
•
Always measure your blood pressure at the same
time.
•
Measure your pressure when you are relaxed. Try to
rest for fifteen minutes before measuring your
blood pressure. You should wait an hour after a
large meal before measuring your blood pressure.
•
Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring
your blood pressure.
•
Do not undertake any physical activity an hour
before measuring your blood pressure.
