Q&A for Common Questions on Blood Pressure:
1. Question:Why is the blood pressure measured at home lower than that measured at the hospital?
Answer: When measuring in hospital, we often feel nervous.
Because the mood is stable when measured at home, sometimes it is lower than the blood pressure measured in the hospital. It's important to know your normal blood pressure at home when you're calm.
Answer: When measuring, the position of the arm band is higher than that of the heart.
If the table or platform of the sphygmomanometer is too high, the position of the arm band is higher than that of the heart, the measured blood pressure is lower.
2. Question:Why is the blood pressure measured at home higher than that measured in hospitals?
Answer: Is the winding position of the arm strap correct?
The displacement of the arm band can not capture the arterial signal, and the measured blood pressure is on the high side. Please confirm the location of the black triangle mark.
Answer: The arm band is too loose.
Too loose the arm band will cause the pressure to be transmitted without an artery, so the blood pressure measured is higher than the actual value. Adjust arm and arm band gap, roll into arm band.
Answer: The posture was incorrect.
When bending down, sitting cross-legged, bending down on a sofa or a low table, the blood pressure rises because the abdominal pressure or the position of the arm is lower than that of the heart. Please use the correct posture measurement.
