TIPS ON TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force exerted by the heart in pumping the
blood through the arteries and the resistance by the veins in this flow.
Blood pressure changes easily as influenced by mental and physical
factors and is never constant.
In general, blood pressure is highest during the working hours and gradually decreases
during the afternoon and evening hours. It is low during sleep and slowly increases at
a relatively fast rate after arising from bed.
Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure
• Body movement
• Conversation
• Mental Tension
• Emotions
• Meals
• Drinking Alcohol
• Smoking
• Recent Urination or Bowel Movement
• Temperature
• Changes in the surroundings such as movement or noise, etc.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when
measured in a hospital, clinic or doctor's office.
When blood pressure is measured in a hospital, it could be higher than when measured
at home. This is because you are tense at the hospital and relaxed at home. It is
important to know your stable normal blood pressure at home.
Let a qualified physician interpret your blood pressure readings.
Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood pressure can be slightly
different. Consult with your doctor on determining what blood pressure is normal for you.
