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 fi nally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of
time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fl uctuate.

Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s offi ce only provides a momentary value.
Repeated measurements at home better refl ect one’s actual blood pressure values
under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a diff erent blood pressure when they measure at home,
because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s offi ce.
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 World Health Organization (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure
values when measured at resting pulse:
