Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension
and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that
measured at home. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside
influences on blood pressure readings, supplements the doctor's readings and
provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history.

WHO Blood Pressure Classification

Standards
to
blood pressure, without regard
to age, have been established
by
the
World
Organization
shown in the chart at the right.

Blood Pressure Variations

An individual's blood pressure varies greatly on a daily and seasonal basis. It
may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg due to various conditions during the day. In
hypertensive individual variations are even more pronounced. Normally, the
blood pressure rises while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during
sleep. So, do not be overly concerned
by the results of one measurement.
Take measurements at the same time
every
day
described in this manual to get to know
your normal blood pressure. Regular
readings give a more comprehensive
blood pressure history. Be sure to note
date and time when recording your
blood pressure. Consult your doctor to
interpret your blood pressure data.
