Q & A (continued)

Q

Since the

mark was displayed, I retried the measurement

 

by setting my arm on the unit properly. But the indicated value

 

is still higher than usual.

 

A

The

mark is just a guide for the proper measurement method.

 

(See page 20.)

 

 

If you correct your posture when the

mark is displayed but the

 

measured value is still higher or lower than usual, retry the

 

measurement.

 

 

The following causes are suspected.

 

•Did you measure properly (in proper posture)? Measure as indicated on pages 15–17.

•Measured immediately after smoking.

•Measured when irritated or emotional.

•Measured in cold environments

•For persons who have a physical constitution with less fluctuation in the pulse rate.

•If you are concerned about the results, retry the measurement after staying quiet for 4 to 5 minutes.

Q When should I measure my blood pressure?

AWe recommend three measurements a day.

First ........ Upon Waking (Because, with almost no influence from body movement, it’s the blood pressure is closest to that at night.)

Second.... Before Lunch (Because it provides blood pressure values close to the highest of the day.)

Third........ At Bedtime (So as to obtain data close to your average blood pressure values during the day.)

This way, by taking measurements morning, noon and night, you can use the unit to learn the patterns of and monitor your blood pressure.

•Use of the AM and PM average systolic blood pressure comparison function can aid in the detection of a blood pressure pattern known as “early morning surge” in which blood pressure rises rapidly in the morning. (See page 27.)
