Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure   What is Blood Pressure?   Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the   walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing   during the course of the heart’s cycle.   The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure;   the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.   Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to   enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.   Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at Home?   Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety   which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions   affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be sufficient for   an accurate diagnosis.   Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can   influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and measure your   blood pressure at the same time each day, to get an accurate indication   of any changes in blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the   morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the   summer and higher in the winter.   Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and   measurements are written with the systolic pressure before the diastolic   e.g. A blood pressure written as 135/85, is referred to as 135 over   85 mmHg.   EN   Upper curve: systolic blood pressure   Lower curve: diastolic blood pressure   200   150   100   50   6 12   18   24   Time of day   Example: fluctuation within a day (male, 35 years old)   33   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
