Blood Pressure Variations

An individual's blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis. It
may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In
hypertensive individuals, variations are even more pronounced. Normally,
the blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels
during sleep. So, do not be overly concerned by the results of one
measurement.
Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure
described in this manual to get to know
your normal blood pressure. Regular
readings give a more comprehensive blood
pressure history. Be sure to note the date
and time when recording your blood
pressure. Consult your doctor to interpret
your blood pressure data.
