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.
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.
