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

Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary
value. Repeated measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood
pressure values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they
measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in
the doctor’s o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 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) has set up the following
standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse:
