Understanding Your Readings
Your Omron BP652 provides valuable information about your blood pressure, a vital indicator of cardiovascular health. Understanding the readings is crucial for managing your well-being.
Systolic Blood Pressure⁚ This number represents the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. It’s the top number displayed on the monitor. A higher systolic reading indicates that your heart is working harder to pump blood.
Diastolic Blood Pressure⁚ This number reflects the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. It’s the bottom number on the monitor. A higher diastolic reading suggests that your arteries are not relaxing adequately between heartbeats.
Pulse Rate⁚ The monitor also displays your pulse rate, which is the number of times your heart beats per minute.
Interpreting Your Readings⁚ The ideal blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mmHg. However, blood pressure levels can fluctuate throughout the day and can be influenced by various factors like stress, caffeine, and exercise.
Consult Your Doctor⁚ If you have concerns about your blood pressure readings, always consult your doctor. They can provide personalized advice and determine if any further action is necessary.
