What you should know about blood pressure

Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early

morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the

afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short

period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate.

Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31-year old male, measured at 5-minute

intervals.

Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office only provides a momentary value.

Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure

values under everyday conditions.

Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at

home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office.

Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor

with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual

«everyday» conditions.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood

pressure values when measured at resting pulse.
