What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in
the early morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure
rises again in the afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also,
it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive
measurements can fluctuate.

Note: Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary
value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood
pressure values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they
measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in
the doctor's office.
Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your
doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values
under actual everyday conditions.
The European Society of Hypertension (ESH) has set up the following
standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse:
Blood pressure Too
(mmHg) low
SYSTOLIC below 100
= systole
= upper value
DIASTOLIC below 60
= diastole
= lower value
