Why Does My Blood Pressure Fluctuate Throughout The Day; Why Do I Get A Different Blood Pressure At Home Compared To The Hospital; Is The Result The Same If Measuring On The Right Arm - Gima 32916 / LS808-BS Manual Del Usuario

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. Please note that the device
does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?

1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times
everyday. It is also affected by the way you tie your
cuff and your measurement position, so please take
the measurement under the same conditions.
2. If the person takes medicine, the pressure will vary
more.
3. Wait at least 3 minutes for another measurement.
Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared
to the hospital?
The blood pressure is different even throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc,
Also, there is the "white coat" effect, which means blood pressure usually increases in clinical
settings.
What you need to pay attention to when you measure your blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm. If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before beginning will be better for measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.
Is the result the same if measuring
on the right arm?
It is ok for both arms, but there will be some different
results for different people. We suggest you measure
the same arm every time.
