Q1: Which reading determines the color level?

A: The Blood Pressure Monitor classifies based on the higher of the systolic or diastolic readings. For example, if your systolic pressure is 138 mmHg (""High-normal"") and diastolic is 92 mmHg (""Mild Hypertension""), the monitor will display yellow, indicating ""Mild Hypertension.""

Q2: If the color changes daily, does that mean my blood pressure is unstable?

A: Blood pressure naturally fluctuates due to emotions, diet, activity, and time of day. Minor variations are normal. For consistency, measure at the same time daily and focus on long-term trends rather than single readings.

Q3: If the indicator is green, am I completely safe?

A: Green means optimal, normal or high-normal blood pressure, but if you have risk factors like family history of heart disease, obesity, or diabetes, regular monitoring and a healthy lifestyle are still recommended.

Q4: Will the color change if my blood pressure differs between morning and evening?

A: Yes, blood pressure follows a daily rhythm. Measure at consistent times and track long-term patterns.

Q5: Can the color indicator replace a doctor’s diagnosis?

A: No. The WHO Blood Pressure Indicator is a helpful reference, but it cannot replace professional medical advice. If readings are frequently elevated (yellow or above), consult a doctor.

Q6: Do all blood pressure monitors use the same color system?

A: Not necessarily. Some brands use their own classifications, but Tanlekang follows the WHO standard, ensuring accuracy and global relevance.
