B. Variations in blood pressure
GB
Individual blood pressures vary greatly
both on a daily and a seasonal basis.
These variations are even more prono-
unced in hypertens patients. Normally
the blood pressure rises while at work
and is at its lowest during sleeping
period. (hypertense: means a person
who has high blood pressure sym-
ptom.)
The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over a whole day with
measurement taken every five minutes. The thick line represents sleep. The rise in
blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph) correspond to
an attack of pain.
