Why does my blood pressure
fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies
multiple times everyday. It is also
affected by the way you tie your
cuff and your measurement position,
so please take the measurement
under the same conditions.
2. If the person takes medicine, the
pressure will vary more.
3. Wait at least 3 minutes for another
measurement.
Why do I get a different
blood pressure at home
compared to the hospital?
The blood pressure is different even
throughout the day due to weather,
emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is
the "white coat" effect, which means
blood pressure usually increases in
clinical settings.
Is the result the same
if measuring on the
right arm?
It is ok for both arms, but there will be
some different results for different
people. We suggest you measure
the same arm every time.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What you need to pay attention
to when you measure your blood
pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm.
If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before
beginning will be better for
measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
