Blood Pressure Q & A

Why is the doctors reading different from the reading taken at home?

Blood pressure can vary due to exercise or the environment (temperature, nervous condition). Particularly when measured at the doctors office, it is possible for blood pressure to increase over readings taken at home due to anxiety and tension. It is important to know your regular, relaxed blood pressure by measuring at home.

The Blood Pressure Reading is always different why is it so?

Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure fluctuates from day to day and minute to minute according to your body needs. For example, when you are exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping it decreases. This fluctuations are completely normal.

How Important is to monitor blood pressure at home?

One or two readings will not provide a true indicaion of your normal blood pressure. It is very important to take regular, daily measurements and to keep accurate records. In partnership with your doctor, an accurate record over a period of time can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and preventing potential health problems. Many companies offers a large selection of blood pressure kits and digital monitors to make managing and monitoring at home easily.
