Rest Status Check Before Measuring Blood Pressure

Per ASH guidelines*, patients should avoid intense exercise within 30 minutes before their blood pressure measurement and rest for 5 minutes before taking a reading. With the Garmin BP Rest Check Widget, users can judge if they are in a sufficient rest condition from the heart rate history feature on their Garmin smartwatch. You can also determine if you need to rest and relax more or if your rest condition is enough for your next measurement. Please note that this is a Garmin CIQ Widget to help users judge their rest condition before taking their blood pressure. It is not a medical product. The readings are only for reference and should not be used to diagnose, treat, alleviate or prevent any disease or symptom. Users should evaluate their personal health condition before use and seek the professional advice of their physician. *2017 High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guideline Table 10; Procedure for use of HBPM https://www.jacc.org/doi/full/10.1016/j.jacc.2017.11.006?_ga=2.168714978.218447338.1611304440-583985672.1611304440
