Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who
normally don't have high readings. If your numbers stay above the
normal range most of the time, you may be at increased risk and
should consult your physician.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings
fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels
and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages
that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 21 for more
information on this feature.
