What is Blood Pressure?

In the most basic sense, blood pressure is a way of measuring how much force is being exerted on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them.

Systolic blood pressure (the upper number on the blood pressure monitor) is the highest pressure in blood vessels when the heart contracts/beats.

Diastolic blood pressure (the lower number on the blood pressure monitor) is the lowest pressure in blood vessels in between heartbeats when the heart muscle relaxes.

What is Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)?

Hypertension occurs when the systolic blood pressure is equal to/greater than 135 mmHg & the diastolic blood pressure is equal to/greater than 80 mmHg. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can cause heart attack, stroke, dementia, kidney failure, vision loss amongst the serious consequences.

How do I measure my blood pressure correctly?

1. Sit quietly for about 5 minutes with both feet flat on the floor.
2. Do not smoke, bathe, drink caffeinated drinks/alcohol or exercise 30 minutes before measurement
3. Measure at the same time every day
4. Take multiple readings & record the results using a diary or an app

Which number is more important? (Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure)

Both readings are important. Systolic blood pressure measures your blood pressure during a heart contraction & the other measures blood pressure between heart contractions. Usually, more attention is given to systolic blood pressure, as it indicates a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. For your particular situation, you should discuss both measurement results with your doctor.

Are the readings different between an upper arm blood pressure monitor & a wrist blood pressure monitor?

It is quite possible that your readings may be different from your upper arm to your wrist as blood pressure varies throughout the human body. All Omron blood pressure monitors, whether upper arm or wrist, are validated in the same manner & have the same accuracy specifications.

Which blood pressure monitor- upper arm or wrist should I purchase?

In terms of which type of blood pressure monitor is best for you, we recommend that you discuss this with your doctor, based on your individual needs.

Upper arm blood pressure monitors are recommended for people who buy a blood pressure monitor for the first time or people who have high blood pressure & need to control it.
