Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life.  It can lead 

to a lot of problems including heart failure, kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging.  

By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis, 

hypertension and relative diseases are much easier to control when diagnosed in their

early stages.

Blood Pressure Q&A

Q:  

What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a professional 

         healthcare clinic?

A:  

Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate account as 

         they better reflect your daily life.  Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or 

         medical environment.  This is known as White Coat Hypertension and may be caused by  

         feeling anxious or nervous.

         Note:  Abnormal test results may be caused by:

                    1.  Improper cuff placement 

                         Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight or too loose.

                         Make sure bottom of the cuff is approximately 1-2cm (1/2'') above the elbow 

                         joint.

                    2.  Improper body position

                         Make sure to keep your body in an upright position.

                    3.  Feeling anxious or nervous 

                         Take 2-3 deep breaths, wait a few minutes and resume testing. 

Q:  

What causes different readings?

A:  

Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day.  Many factors including diet,

         stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual's blood pressure.

Q:  

Should I apply the cuff to the left or right arm?  What is the difference?

A:  

Either arm can be used when testing, however, when comparing results, the same arm 

         should be used.  Testing on your left arm may provide more accurate results as it is 

         located closer to your heart.

Q:  

What is the best time of day for testing?

A:  

Morning time or any time you feel relaxed and stress free.

Note:  Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs.  

 each day over an 

            extended period of time.  Consult your physician if test results remain abnormal.

A better indication of an individual's 

            blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time

Blood Pressure Information

Blood Pressure 

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries.  It is typically 

measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg.)  Systolic blood pressure  is the maximum

force exerted against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats.  Diastolic blood 

pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.  

An individual's blood pressure frequently changes throughout the course of a day.  

Excitement and tension can cause blood pressure to rise, while drinking alcohol and 

bathing can lower blood pressure.  Certain hormones like adrenaline (which your 

body releases under stress) can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a rise in 

blood pressure.

If these measuring numbers become too high, it means the heart is working harder 

than it should.
