Omron BP710 Getting Started Guide

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Why are my blood pressure readings sometimes different?
A. Your blood pressure changes constantly based on your daily
activities and time of day. Because of this, some fluctuations
can be expected. That’s why it is important to use averages
over time to compare readings. Because each person is
different, it’s important to consult with your doctor about what
your numbers mean to you.
Q. Why could my doctor’s reading be different than my readings
taken at home?
A. Having your blood pressure measured by a healthcare
professional in a doctor’s office can cause nervousness and
may result in an elevated reading. Because these readings
can vary considerably, you should take your blood pressure
on a regular basis at home and share your results with your
healthcare provider.
