Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart in pumping the blood through the arteries
and the resistance by the veins in this ow.
Blood pressure varies all the time, 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 increases at a relatively
fast rate after arising from bed.
Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure
• Body movement • Conversation
• Emotions • Eating
• Recent Urination or Bowel Movement
• 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.
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.
• Mental Tension • Nervousness
• Drinking Alcohol • Smoking
• Room temperature
