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.
