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

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.
