3 about blood pressure

what is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the cardiac 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 the diastolic are necessary to enable a physician to evaluate the status of a patient's blood pressure. Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from the afternoon to the evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.

why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?

Having one's blood pressure measured by a doctor in a hospital or a clinic, and a group health checks, tend to stimulate nervousness in the subject and may even create high blood pressure. Also varies blood pressure in accordance with a variety of conditions and so judgment is not possible on the basis of a single measurement.

The blood pressure measured first thing in the morning after getting up, before taking any food and with the subject still, is known as the fundamental blood pressure. In practice it is rather difficult to record the fundamental blood pressure, but to come as near as possible to measuring the blood pressure in an environment that is close to this, is why it is useful to take the measurement at home.

A WHO blood pressure classifications

Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure without regard to age, have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart.

B variations in blood pressure

Individual blood pressures vary greatly both on a daily and a seasonal basis. These variations are even more pronounced in hypertense patients. Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest during sleeping period.

(hypertense: means a person who has high blood pressure symptom.)

The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over a whole day with measurement taken every five minutes.

The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain.

3 about blood pressure
