2.6 Fluctuations in blood pressure

There are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings
can be affected seriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the
time of day at which the measurements are taken. Your personal blood
pressure values are subject to considerable fluctuation during the course
of the day and the year. These fluctuations are particularly pronounced
in the case of patients suffering from hypertension. Blood pressure is
usually at its highest during physical exertion and at its lowest at night
when you are asleep.

2.7 Influencing 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 influenced
by several factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and phy-
sical exertion influence the measured values in various ways.
•
Measure your blood pressure before meals.
•
Before taking readings, allow yourself at least five minutes rest.
•
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.
