Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart in pumping the blood through the arteries
and the resistance by the veins in this flow.
Blood pressure varies all the time, influenced by mental and physical factors,
and is never constant.
In general, blood pressure is highest during the working hours and gradually decreases
during the afternoon and evening hours. It is low during sleep and increases at a relatively
fast rate after arising from bed.
Causes for Changes in Blood Pressure
• Body movement • Conversation
• Emotions • Eating
• Recent Urination or Bowel Movement
• Changes in the surroundings such as movement or noise, etc.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured in a
