Information
------------------
Listen to your body. Take control of your and live a
fuller life
OMRON wants everyone to live a normal, y and well-balanced
life. The key is management. We all need to take
responsibility for our own .
Why is it a good thing to measure blood pressure at home
--------------------------------------------------------
Having your Blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety
which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of
conditions affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be
sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or the time of a
day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try
and measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, to get
an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure. Blood
pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from
afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the
winter.
Knowledge that empowers
-----------------------
OMRON is renowned for designing advanced monitors for use by
medical professionals in clinics and hospitals. But we believe
prevention is more effective than any . Information
about your shouldn't just be available to your doctor. We
want to empower people to know and understand their bodies so
they can control illnesses or avoid them altogether. That's why
we offer care products that enable anyone to monitor their
in their own home, so they stay y and stay out of
hospital. When your body talks, we can help you listen.
Dietary Keys To Reducing High Blood Pressure
--------------------------------------------
Fruits and Juices Increase consumption of juices, fruits
(especially bananas) and whole grain based cereals to counteract
high levels of potassium found in other foods and in your body.
Monounsaturated s Increase consumption of products with
monounsaturated s, such as olive oil, in your diet can greatly
diminish your risk of high blood pressure and may even eliminate
the need to take medication to control the situation.
Systolic Blood Pressure Omega-3 ty s Increase
consumption of omega-3 ty s that are commonly found in
cold-water fish. These s are proven to reduce high-blood
pressure as well as lower your cholesterol.
Whole Oats Increase consumption of whole oats help to help
control your high blood pressure. Additionally, they also have
positive affects on cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
C Increase consumption of products containing C
to battle high blood pressure. This may mean a daily
supplement or be part of an increased consumption of fruits, such
as oranges.
Professional office BP guidelines based on classification by the
WHO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The World Organization (WHO) and the International Society
of Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification
shown in this figure. This classification is based on the blood
pressure values measured on people in a sitting position in
outpatient departments of hospitals.
Helpful Blood Pressure Reminders
--------------------------------
* Have your blood pressure checked by your doctor.
* If you have high blood pressure, follow your doctor's advice
about changing your diet and lifestyle habits.
* If your doctor has prescribed medication for your high blood
pressure, it is very important to take it regularly. If you have
any new symptoms, call your doctor.
* Measure and record your blood pressure at home regularly. This
information may be valuable to your doctor in evaluating your
condition.
* Cooperate. You and your doctor must work together in order to
keep your blood pressure and your es under control.
Understanding Why High Blood Pressure Is A Problem
--------------------------------------------------
Generally, normotension (normal blood pressure) is defined as
less than 130mmHg for systolic value (SBP) and less than 85mmHg
for diastolic value (DBP). The higher the blood pressure, the
more load on the blood vessels, and this can damage the vessels.
In the worst case, blood vessel walls can develop holes causing
internal bleeding. When this happens in the brain, it is called a
stroke. In addition, high blood pressure increases the myocardial
workload so that the heart must work harder to maintain adequate
blood flow to the body. This causes ischemic heart disease (IHD)
such as a heart attack (myocardial infarction) and angina. People
with hypertension have the increased risk of suffering from of
having a stroke. Conversely, It is also known that those with
normal blood pressure have a lesser risk of ischemic heart
disease (myocardial infarction and angina) and stroke. Thus, it
can be concluded that keeping blood pressure within a normal
range to prevent these occurrences is of the utmost importance.
Importance of Home BP Monitoring
--------------------------------
Doctors, es educators, physician assistants, nurses and
other care professionals recommend home blood pressure
monitoring for various reasons, including the ability to provide
them with better information to understand and manage your high
blood pressure.
Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring
your blood pressure at home, including:
* White-coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in
doctor's office but lower at home
* ed Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's
office but higher at home
* Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the
morning
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure,
including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications
and stress, so having your blood pressure monitored at a cy
with an in-store device after you have been shopping or walking
around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement.
Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you to more easily
get to a relaxed state and the flexibility to take your
measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of
your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your
care professional with a log of blood pressure measurements
over time, which can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need
for medication.
