(diabetes, kidney disease, arteriosclerosis, or poor
peripheral circulation) may get lower readings with wrist
type monitor than with a blood pressure monitor that is
used on the upper arm. Please consult your physician to
determine if your wrist blood pressure accurately reflects
your actual blood pressure.
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure
fluctuates from day to day and minute to minute according
to your body's needs. For example, when you are
exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but
when you are relaxing or sleeping your blood pressure
decreases. These fluctuations are completely normal. This
portable wrist blood pressure monitor is especially helpful
when tacking changes in your blood pressure because it
travels anywhere and takes just seconds to use.
Note: One or two readings will not provide a true indication
of your normal blood pressure. It is very important to take
regular, daily measurements and to keep accurate records.
In partnership with your doctor, an accurate record of your
blood pressure over a period of time can be a valuable aid
in diagnosing and preventing potential health problems.
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the
following Blood Pressure Classification. This classification,
however, is only a general guideline because blood
pressure varies from person to person according to age,
weight, and health status.

NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
