This chart is only a general guideline. Please contact your physician to
determine your NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure can be influenced by many factors. This change can occur
from moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during the
sleeping period and rises during the day. The graph below represents the
variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken
every 5 minutes.
