5)Do not be concerned with the results of one measurement. Many measurements, record- ed over a long period of time, will provide a better indication of your blood pressure.
6)Please relax for 5 to 10 minutes before taking another measurement.
7)Many factors can affect your blood pressure
-such as exercising, eating, talking, moving, nervousness, environment and temperature changes. Emotional stress can cause an increase in blood pressure. Daily fluctuations of 25 to 50 mmHg are common.
Using a Wrist Unit
Taking your blood pressure at the wrist may give different readings than from the upper arm
-as is done in most doctor offices. Because of the location of measurement and differences in arterial diameters, a healthy person may see a maximum difference oft/- 10 mmHg in both systolic and diastolic measurements, versus those taken with an arm unit with cuff.
Please note: Some individuals with hypertension, diabetes, kidney disorders, arteriosclerosis or poor circulation may see a significant difference in blood pressure readings taken from the wrist as compared to readings from the upper arm. It is recommended that you consult with your physician concerning the use of this monitor.
