Internationally recognized guidelines for upper limit of normal home
blood pressure readings are as follows:
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. A lower home blood pressure goal may be
recommended for certain patients, including diabetic patients,
pregnant women, and patients with renal failure.
WARNING
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
WARNING
Contact your physician for specific information about your blood
pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be
dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed
healthcare provider.
