Why are my blood pressure readings
Q
dierent than at my doctor’s oce?
Lower readings: Many experience what is called “White Coat Hypertension”
A
when measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood
pressure that rises above its usual level when measured in a clinical setting,
such as a doctor’s oce. It is named for the typical white coat uniform
worn by health care providers.
Higher readings: Blood pressure is very much a variable body parameter,
so results are not always the same. To compare your pressure levels, you
should perform a daily measurement under comparable living situations.
Make sure that you feel relaxed and are not disturbed by your
environment. In addition, check for proper cu t, tightness, and artery
alignment. If you still need assistance, call 1-800-568-4147.

and tightness. Remove any restrictive
jewelry from wrist.
Put cu over left wrist with monitor face
on the inside of wrist.

necessarily inaccurate. Blood pressure is
a variable body parameter that is subject

which you believe to be inaccurate,
please call us at 1-800-568-4147 so we
can help you.
