Interpreting Blood Pressure Readings

Understand systolic and diastolic values to assess your health. Recognize normal‚ elevated‚ or high readings‚ and know when to seek professional advice for accurate diagnosis and care.

Understanding Systolic and Diastolic Values

The systolic value (top number) measures blood pressure during a heartbeat‚ while the diastolic value (bottom number) measures pressure between beats. Both are crucial for assessing heart health. Normal systolic readings typically range from 90-120 mmHg‚ while diastolic readings range from 60-80 mmHg. Elevated systolic or diastolic values may indicate potential health risks. The Wristech monitor provides accurate readings‚ helping you track these values over time. Regular monitoring allows you to identify patterns and make informed decisions about your health. Always consult a healthcare professional if readings consistently fall outside normal ranges‚ as this could signal hypertension or other conditions requiring medical attention.

Recognizing Normal and Elevated Readings

Normal blood pressure readings typically fall below 120/80 mmHg‚ while elevated readings range from 120-129/80 mmHg. The Wristech monitor uses a color-coded backlight to help interpret results: green for normal‚ yellow for elevated‚ and red for high blood pressure. Consistently elevated readings may indicate hypertension‚ requiring lifestyle changes or medical consultation. Use the monitor regularly to track trends and detect potential issues early. If readings remain high‚ consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance. Regular monitoring with the Wristech device ensures you stay informed about your cardiovascular health‚ enabling proactive decisions to maintain wellness.

When to Consult a Healthcare Professional

If your blood pressure readings consistently exceed 140/90 mmHg‚ consult a healthcare professional. Additionally‚ seek medical advice if you experience symptoms like dizziness‚ chest pain‚ or shortness of breath. The Wristech monitor’s color-coded backlight can help identify high readings‚ but only a doctor can diagnose and treat underlying conditions. If you notice sudden spikes in readings or irregular heartbeats‚ professional evaluation is recommended. Furthermore‚ consult your doctor if you have concerns about medication or lifestyle changes. Regular monitoring with the Wristech device can help track trends‚ but always seek personalized advice from a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
