What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump
blood out of the heart, the blood
pressure reaches its maximum value
in the cycle, which is called systolic
pressure. When the ventricles relax, the
blood pressure reaches its minimum
value in the cycle, which is called
diastolic pressure.
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies every in one day, it also affected
by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so
please take the measurement at the same condition.
2. The varies of the pressure is greater if the person take medicine.
3. Waiting at least 3 minutes for another measurement.
Why the blood pressure I get from the hospital is different
from home?
The blood pressure is different even during 24 hour because of the
weather, emotion, exercise etc, specially the "white coat" in hospital
which makes the results are higher than the ones at home.
The attention need to pay when you measure your
blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too hight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the wrist.
If you feel anxious pressured.
You had better take deep breath 2-3 times before beginning.
Advice: adjust yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.
If the result is the same if measuring on the right wrist?
It is ok for both wrists, but there will be some different results for
different person, so suggest you measure the same wrist every time.
