QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON BLOOD PRESSURE
Q Why is the blood pressure measured at home different from
that measured at the physician or a hospital?
A Blood pressure may vary with exercising, ambient
temperature or mental states. When you have a physician
or nurse measure your blood pressure, the pressure value
is likely to be 10 to 20 mmHg higher than usual because of
concern and nervousness. To know what affects blood
pressure is helpful to your health monitoring.
Q What is the benefit of measuring blood pressure at Home?
A Blood pressure measured
at home is reliable since it
can be measured in a
stable and relaxed
condition. Physicians lay
importance on blood
pressure measurements
taken at home. It is
recommended to measure
your blood pressure at the
same time on a daily
basis and to record blood pressure variation.
Always consult your physician for interpretation of your blood
pressure readings and proper treatment.
