IMPORTANT INFORMATION

NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATION
All physical activity, excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking, body posture and
many other activities or factors (including taking a blood pressure measurement) will
influence blood pressure value. Because of this, it is mostly unusual to obtain identical
multiple blood pressure readings.
Blood pressure fluctuates continually day and night. The highest value usually appears
in the daytime and the lowest one usually at midnight. Typically, the value begins to
increase at around 3:00 AM, and reaches the highest level in the daytime while most
people are awake and active.
Considering the above information, it is recommended that you measure your blood
pressure at approximately the same time each day.
Please always relax a minimum of 1 to 15 minutes between measurements to allow the
blood circulation in your arm to recover. It is rare that you obtain identical blood pressure
readings each time.
