Why is the doctor's reading different from the reading taken at home?
Your blood pressure can vary due to the environment (temperature, nervous condition). When measuring
blood pressure at the doctor's office, it is possible for blood pressure to increase due to anxiety and tension.
c)
Why should I monitor blood pressure at home?
One or two readings will not provide a true indication of your normal blood pressure. It is important to take
