A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Your blood pressure changes constantly.Blood pressure uctuates
from day to day and minute to minute according to your body’s
needs.For example, when you are exercising or angry your blood
pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping your
lood pressure decreases.These uctuations are completely nor-
mal.Your Omron HEM-739 Monitor is especially helpful when
tracking changes in blood pressure because it travels anywhere
and takes just seconds to use.
Note: One or two readings will not provide a true indication of
your normal blood pressure.It is very important to take regular,
daily measurements and to keep accurate records.In partnership
with your doctor, an accurate record of your blood pressure over a
period of time can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and preventing
potential health problems.
