Why are my blood pressure readings different than at my
doctor’s office?
Lower readings:
Many experience what is called “White Coat Hypertension”
when their blood pressure is measured by a doctor. White Coat
Hypertension refers to blood pressure that rises above its usual level when
measured in a clinical setting, such as a doctor’s office. It is named for the
typical white coat uniform worn by health care providers.
Higher readings:
Blood pressure a variable body parameter that is subject
to normal fluctuations throughout the day. To compare your pressure
levels, you should perform a daily measurement under comparable
conditions. Make sure that you feel relaxed and are not disturbed by your
environment. In addition, check for proper cuff fit, tightness, and artery
alignment. If you still need assistance, call 1-800-568-4147.
