To get an accurate understanding of your true blood pressure you need more than an occasional blood pressure reading. Several readings are needed to determine your average blood pressure and variation. Readings taken during high-stress times of day will give a clearer picture, because patterns become visible showing peaks and valleys.
Readings taken over a span of hours each day for several days will give you a statistically valid evaluation. The Blood Pressure Profiler can provide you with this evaluation by calculating the range and revealing abnormally high (or low) blood pressure patterns.
This information will help you to decide whether to consult with your physician for further testing. Your physician may then make recommendations on life-style changes, dietary modifications, or weight loss. If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), your physician may also prescribe medication to lower your blood pressure.
You will need a blood pressure monitor to take your readings. If you don't already own a monitor, you may purchase one at Life Source Online, or at several other sellers whose links are listed on our Health Resources page.
