Q When should I measure my blood pressure? A We recommend three measurements a day. First Upon Waking (Because, with almost no influence from body movement, it's the blood pressure is closest to that at night.) Second Before Lunch (Because it provides blood pressure values close to the highest of the day.) Third At Bedtime (So as to obtain data close to your average blood pressure values during the day.) This way, by taking measurements morning, noon and night, you can use the unit to learn the patterns of and monitor your blood pressure. Q Why are measured blood pressure values different each time I take a measurement? A LI Blood pressure changes even within a single day, and it is different depending on the measurement posture. Because of this, when taking measurements, be sure to always take measurements under the same conditions. For persons taking blood pressure medication, blood pressure may change greatly due to the effects of the medication. When taking 2 measurements in succession, be sure to stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement before taking the next measurement. Why are the measured values different for the left and right arm? Q A It is said that differences in blood pressure values between the left and right arms may be around 1OmmHg. The blood pressure can be measured in either the left or right arm, but all measurements should be taken using the same arm for comparative consistency. 21

Q
When
should
measure
my
blood
pressure?
A
We
recommend
three
measurements
a
day.
First
Upon
Waking
(Because,
with
almost
no
influence
from
body
movement,
it's
the
blood
pressure
is
closest
to
that
at
night.)
Second
Before
Lunch
(Because
it
provides
blood
pressure
values
close
to
the
highest
of
the
day.)
Third
At
Bedtime
(So
as
to
obtain
data
close
to
your
average
blood
pressure
values
during
the
day.)
This
way,
by
taking
measurements
morning,
noon
and
night,
you
can
use
the
unit
to
learn
the
patterns
of
and
monitor
your
blood
pressure.
Q
Why
are
measured
blood
pressure
values
different
each
time
take
a
measurement?
A
LI
Blood
pressure changes
even
within
a
single
day,
and
it
is
different
depending
on
the
measurement
posture.
Because
of
this,
when
taking
measurements,
be
sure
to
always
take
measurements
under
the
same
conditions.
For
persons
taking
blood
pressure
medication,
blood
pressure
may
change
greatly
due
to
the
effects
of
the
medication.
When
taking
2
measurements
in
succession,
be
sure
to
stay
quiet
for
4
to
5
minutes
after
the
first
measurement
before
taking
the
next
measurement.
Why
are
the
measured
values
different
for
the
left
and
right
arm?
A
It
is
said
that
differences
in
blood
pressure
values
between
the
left
and
right
arms
may
be
around
1
OmmHg.
The
blood
pressure
can
be
measured
in
either
the
left
or
right
arm,
but
all
measurements
should
be
taken
using
the
same
arm
for
comparative
consistency.
