categories. For example, a Stage 2 systolic reading, but a diastolic

pressure reading in the normal range.

Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure

IMPORTANT:

• Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because

fluctuations in a person’s blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible,

measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day,

and consult your physician if you have questions or concerns.

• If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement,

please consult your physician.
