frequently asked questions
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times every day. 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.
4. Blood pressure might fluctuate after eating and drinking.
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.
Is the result the same if measuring on the right arm?
It is ok for both wrists, but there will be some different results for different people. We suggest you measure the same wrist every time.
