Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is influenced by many factors and can change from moment to moment.
Normally, blood pressure is lowest during sleeping periods and rises during the day.The
graph below represents variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements
taken every 5 minutes.
The dotted line represents the sleep
period.The rise in blood pressure at
1 pm (A in the graph) corresponds to
a stressful occurrence and at 7 pm (B
in the graph) a period of exercise.
