Blood pressure can vary depending on your condition. Therefore, please take your blood pressure measurement
in a quiet and relaxing environment. At least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
It is normal for blood pressure measured by a doctor or at a pharmacy to be different from that measured at
home, depending on the environment in which it is measured.
Multiple measurements were more reliable than single measurements, the interval between the two
measurements should be at least 2 minutes. Pregnant women should be especially careful to measure blood
pressure, because pregnant women's blood pressure changes more than normal person.
If you are suffering from arrhythmia, the measurement value of blood pressure monitor should be used as
reference and assessment.
The following conditions may cause changes in blood pressure measurements: within an hour of eating; After
drinking, coffee or black tea; Talking during measurement; When nervous or emotionally unstable; measurement
with the posture of abdominal compression; Body movement during measurement; When room temperature
changes rapidly; When the measuring site or environment changes frequently; Long time continuous
measurement.

HOW TO EVALUATE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
The World Health Organization (WHO) has created the following guide for assessing high blood pressure
(without regard to age or gender). It is important to note that various factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.)
also need to be considered. Consult with your physician for an accurate assessment and diagnosis of your health
condition. This chart is not intended to provide a basis for any type of diagnosis or emergency assessment; this
chart only depicts different classifications of blood pressure. Consult your physician for an interpretation and
diagnosis based on your personal blood pressure results.
