WHY IS IT MEASURING THE BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME?
When blood pressure is measured in a clinic, office or hospital, nervousness and
excitement can occur in the patient. This situation causes the blood pressure values to be
too high. Among physicians this phenomenon is known as the "white coat effect". The blood
pressure values depend on a multitude of factors, so that it is not possible to provide a valid
diagnosis by virtue of a single measurement.
Blood pressure measured in the mornings
directly after getting up and before breakfast
is the most important, this is also considered
as "basic value". In practice it is very difficult
to measure this value, but by carrying out the
measurement in a usual environment (at
home for example) you can get a
measurement quite close to the basic value.
This is why it is advisable to measure your
blood pressure at home.
The table below shows the typical blood
pressure according to age and sex.
