Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Green, Yellow, Red" light mean?
It is a simplified visual guide based on international hypertension guidelines. Green is healthy, Yellow is a warning to watch your lifestyle, and Red means you should talk to a doctor soon.
Can I take this test after exercise?
It is best to wait at least 30–60 minutes after exercise, as physical activity naturally raises both BP and pulse rate temporarily.
Why is manual height measurement used?
Manual measurement with a fixed stadiometer remains the "gold standard" for accuracy in clinical settings.
Does the machine measure "White Coat Hypertension"?
Some people get nervous at clinics, causing a temporary spike. Our staff ensures a calm environment and may take two readings to ensure accuracy.
Is digital weight more accurate than analog?
Yes, digital scales provide precise measurements down to the decimal point and are calibrated regularly for accuracy.
Do I need to fast for a physical checkup?
No, fasting is not required for BP, height, or weight checks.
How often should I check my BP?
If your reading is in the Green, once a year is usually enough. If it is Yellow or Red, your doctor may suggest weekly or monthly monitoring.
Can the pulse rate be affected by stress?
Yes, anxiety or stress can significantly increase your heart rate. We recommend resting before the measurement.
Is this checkup suitable for children?
Yes, though the BP cuff size must be adjusted for smaller arms to ensure an accurate reading.
Will I get a printed report?
Yes, a summary of your vitals and BMI will be provided within 1 hour.
