recommends the following guideline
for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age
and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood pressure
goal for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women,
and patients with renal failure

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may
be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed
healthcare provider.
