What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early
morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the
afternoon and nally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period
of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can uctuate.
Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary value.
Repeated measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood pressure values
under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they measure at
home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s oce.
Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with
valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual «everyday»
conditions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood
pressure values when measured at resting pulse:
• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read the complete use instructions.

• People suering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in

pressure values may occur in such cases.
• If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your
doctor rst.
• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your doctor.
