WHY DOES MY BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
1. Individual blood pressure varies naturally throughout the day.
2. Cuff placement and body position can also affect readings, so try to take the measurement
under the same conditions.
3. Certain medications may cause blood pressure to vary.
4. For comparison, wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.
WHY ARE MY BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS AT HOME
DIFFERENT FROM AT THE HOSPITAL?
1. A variety of factors may cause blood pressure to fluctuate throughout the day, such as emotions,
exercise, or the weather.
2. The “white coat effect” may also affect blood pressure if you feel nervous or anxious in a
clinical setting.
3. When taking blood pressure at home, make sure:
• The cuff is placed on the upper arm and positioned correctly.
• The cuff is not too tight or too loose.
• You relax for five minutes before measuring and take 5-6 deep, calming breaths.
WILL THE RESULTS BE THE SAME IF MEASURING ON
THE RIGHT ARM?
It is ok to measure on either arm, but results may vary. We suggest you measure the same
arm everytime.
