GENERAL BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION
(continued)
What Influences Blood Pressure?
Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular
development, certain medications and even the time of day can influence blood
pressure. Influences such as sleep or relaxation decrease blood pressure, while
anxiety or exercise increase blood pressure.
Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
Home monitoring allows you to supplement measurements taken at your
physician's office. These home readings, when taken over a period of time, can
show an accurate indication of change. Furthermore, your records can assist
your physician in evaluating your health and in making important decisions in the
diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Because of this, it is important to take
consistent, daily measurements.
IMPORTANT: Prior to use, your physician or trained healthcare provider should be
consulted to determine your "normal" blood pressure, evaluate your technique using
this unit, and to interpret your blood pressure measurements.
