A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure changes from
day to day and minute to minute according to your body’s condition.
For example, when you are exercising or angry your blood pressure
increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping your blood
pressure decreases. These changes are completely normal. Your ReliOn
HEM-412CREL Manual Inflation Blood Pressure 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 determine 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.
