Why does my blood
pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple
times everyday. It is also affected by the way
you apply the cuff and your measurement
position, so please take the measurement
under the same conditions.
2.If the person takes medicine, the pressure
will vary more.
3.Wait at least 3 minutes for another
measurement.
Why do I get a different
blood pressure at home
compared to the hospital?
The blood pressure is different even
throughout the day due to weather, emotion,
exercise, etc. Also, there is the “white coat”
effect, which means blood pressure usually
increases in clinical settings.
Is the result the same if
measuring on the right
wrist?
The device is approved to be used on both
wrists, but the results will vary. For the most
consistent readings, measure the same wrist
every time.
What you need to pay attention
to when you measure your blood
pressure at home:
If the cuff is applied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too
loose.
If the cuff is applied on the wrist.
If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before
beginning will be better for
measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
