• Morning Hypertension (> 135 / 85 mm Hg): Recently, several studies have identified elevated cardiovascular
risks (heart failure, stroke, angina) associated with “morning hypertension”. There is a typical rise in blood
pressure during the physiological changes from sleep to arising for the day.
• The ideal time to measure your blood pressure is in the morning just after you wake up, before breakfast
and any physical activity, and in the absence of the urge to urinate. If this is not possible, try to take the
measurements later in the morning, before you start any physical activity. Relax for a few minutes before
you record your blood pressure.
• Your blood pressure increases or decreases under the following circumstances:
Blood pressure is higher than normal:
— when you are excited, nervous, or tense
— while taking a bath
— during and after exercise or strenuous physical activity
— when it is cold
— within one hour after meals
— after drinking tea, coffee, or other caffeinated drinks
— after smoking tobacco
— when your bladder is full
Blood pressure is lower than normal:
— after consuming alcohol
— after taking a bath
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers.
• If you have been diagnosed with a severe arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, vascular constriction, liver
disorder or diabetes, have a cardiac pacemaker, or are pregnant, measurements made with this instrument
