Directions for use 35
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
•
Individual blood pressure varies
multiple times every day because of
weather, emotion, and activity.
•
The way you position your cuff and
your measurement posture can
affect blood pressure. Try to take
blood pressure measurements under
similar conditions.
•
Sometimes blood pressure on one
arm is different from blood pressure
on your other arm. Use the same
arm for blood pressure
measurements.
•
Medication might affect your blood
pressure.
•
The "white coat effect" might cause
your blood pressure to be higher in a
hospital or doctor's office.
Caution The appearance of the
IHB icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an
irregular heartbeat was detected
during measurement. Usually this
is NOT a cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears
often, we recommend you seek
medical advice. The device does
not replace a cardiac examination
but detects pulse irregularities at
an early stage.
