Why should blood pressure be monitored?
Blood pressure should be monitored in case of high or low blood pressure. High blood pressure can increase the risk of a heart attack or a stroke. Low blood pressure is not as serious, but it can cause dizziness and fainting. When it comes to high or low blood pressure, there is no obvious symptoms. When it comes to blood pressure, there are 2 readings:
- Systolic pressure – the pressure that blood pushed out by the heart
- Diastolic pressure – The pressure when your heart rests at between beats
The readings from a blood pressure monitor will be systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. This will show as 140/90mmHg for example, which means that the systolic pressure is 140mmHg and the diastolic pressure is 90mmHg. If your reading was this, then you would have high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg, with low blood pressure being below 90/60mmHg.
Who is the M7 suitable for?
The Omron M7 is suitable to be used by anyone who is looking for a blood pressure monitor that will give a fast and accurate reading. Anyone over the age of 40 should have a test every 5 years or so with the NHS. Anyone with a high risk of a condition should have one more often.
