Hypertension Monitoring Could Save Your Life
During my High Blood Pressure Treatment, Hypertension Monitoring was indispensable - In fact, it was like being in Intensive Care.
But the regular checking of my blood pressure after a few months, became a joyful and interesting routine.
My environment and activities just before and during the
monitoring Sessions were of the utmost importance because - the sensitivity of both blood pressure and pulse rate is critical and their readings were definitely affected. Things to be aware of before and during a Session:
All Of The Following Will Affect Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate:
- Eating, Drinking Alcohol, Smoking, Exercising, or Bathing 30 minutes before your Sessions.
- Low or high room temperature.
- Looking at scenes that disturb or excite.
- Loud Sounds.
- Reading serious material.
- Thinking unpleasant thoughts.
- Taxing the mind - fear and anxiety.
- Incorrect posture.
- Irregular breathing.
- Movements and discomfort of the body.
The Monitoring Process taught me the importance of the frequency of taking both my blood pressure and pulse rate - because they are constantly changing. The scheduling of my Sessions would change from time to time - Three Sessions daily:
- Six readings at each Session -
- Three readings with a cuff Omron Monitor and one reading each with the other Monitors -
- Five minutes between readings -
- Used four different Monitors - 2 cuffs and 2 wrists.
I was able to compare the measurements - cuff vs wrist.
