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 • Room temperature
• Changes in the surroundings such as movement or noise, etc.
Blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured
in a hospital, clinic or doctor's office.
This is because you are tense at the hospital and relaxed at home. It is important
to know your stable normal blood pressure at home.
Blood pressure at the wrist may be different from that at the upper arm.
As the thickness of the blood vessels differs depending on measuring position,
blood pressure value measured at the wrist may be slightly different from that
measured at the upper arm. In most cases, the difference for a healthy person
will be within about ±10mmHg for the systolic and the diastolic blood pressure.
Caution is required for the following persons: persons with hypertension,
diabetes, liver trouble, hardened arteries, peripheral hindrance of circulation,

etc., as there may be a difference between the values measured at the wrist and
those measured at the upper arm.
Let a qualified physician interpret your blood pressure readings.
Depending on your age, weight and general condition, blood pressure can be
slightly different. Consult with your doctor on determining what blood pressure
is normal for you.
Before taking blood pressure, rest for approximately five minutes and take
your blood pressure while relaxed in a quiet environment.
Measure blood pressure using the correct posture and do not move or
speak during measurement.
Avoid exercise, eating, drinking alcohol, smoking and other activities that
affect your blood pressure right before a measurement.
Take your blood pressure at the same time every day.
The ambient temperature should be approximately 20˚C when you take
your blood pressure.
Reading may vary slightly, depending on posture, whether sitting or lying.
