2.7 Inuencing and evaluating readings

Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and

compare the results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single

reading.

Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a

doctor who is also familiar with your personal medical history.

When using the unit regularly and recording the values for your

doctor, you should visit the doctor from time to time to keep him

updated.

When taking readings, remember that the daily values are inu-

enced by several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs

and physical exertion inuence the measured values in various

ways.

Measure your blood pressure before meals.

Before taking readings, allow yourself at least ve minutes rest.

Too frequent blood pressure readings could lead to disorders

of blood circulation. Always relax at least 2 minutes between

measurements to allow the blood circulation to recover.

The application of the cuff with a pressure of more than 300

mmHg or with a constant pressure above 15 mmHg for longer

than 3 minutes may cause ecchymoma of your arm.

If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too

low) on several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please

inform your doctor. This also applies to the rare occasions when

an irregular or very weak pulse prevents you from taking readings.
