Yeah, I have a machine and unless I take measurements very frequently (different times of day, etc.) it's really hard to make sense of the numbers. You really need to get a long term chart to weed out the noise.
I've been getting much better readings at the doctors but then I realized I always ride my bike there, sit in the waiting room for a while and then get a low reading. Not representative!
- _ph_ 3y agoI am not sure, while the values obtained this way might require calibration, it sounds like very controlled conditions to me. The exercise should bring your body into a very controlled state, beyond the physical load very relaxed. So after a short rest, this should be a good time to get reliable readings. But I am not a doctor.
- zwieback 3y agoYeah, agreeed, and I think the BP is a bit lower because I'm warmed up and then rested a bit. My worst BP is in the mornings after getting up and sitting and drinking coffee.
- gryfft 3y agoI've been using Google Fit to track my blood pressure over time. I've been measuring every other day. The charts really are helpful. The biggest correlation with my blood pressure is how regular my sleep is. Once I started militantly waking and sleeping on a set schedule, the numbers came down. They seem to spike for a few days if my sleep gets messed up badly somehow. I also have been trying to standardize my measurement: same time of day, after sitting quietly alone for five minutes.
