ABOUT “BLOOD PRESSURE”
What is blood pressure?
The heart is a pump that
circulates blood throughout your
body. Blood is pumped from the
heart at a constant pressure into
arteries. This pressure is called
the arterial blood pressure and
represents, in general terms,
your blood pressure. Blood
pressure is indicated by several
kinds of pressures, including
the systolic pressure that occurs when the heart pumps blood, and the diastolic
pressure that occurs when blood returns to the heart.
Your blood pressure changes all the time.
Your blood pressure differs according to your age, gender and a range of other
factors. It is likely to be affected by your biorhythm during the day and by your
posture, physical activities, mental activities, level of stress and even by the air
temperature. The blood pressure of a healthy person generally varies within a day.

Q Why is the blood pressure measured at home different from that measured by the
physician or at a hospital?
A Your blood pressure may vary due to exercise, the ambient temperature or your
mental state. 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 due to anxiety and/
or stress. Knowing what affects your blood pressure helps you to better monitor your
health.
Q Why does the blood pressure obtained vary with measurement?
A Our blood pressure is adjusted by automatic nerve function. Blood pressure differs
with every heart beat. We are likely to think that our blood pressure is constant, but
it varies if you take measurements in repetition. Blood pressure is susceptible to the
time of day, such as morning and afternoon, season and atmospheric temperature.
In addition, blood pressure is easily affected by mental stress or emotional ups and
downs. It tends to increase when you feel tension or decrease when you are relaxed.
